X was never meant to talk to weird cards created by vendors who refuse
to release specs for the card, and/or create the X servers themselves.
You've had horrifying experiences setting up Xfree, ever tried any of
the commercial X servers? If you have a halfway decent card, its a
breeze to install (yes completely gui based).
How many of those 8 yrs did you spend working on Unix? That too on X?

Get real. Thats the strongest point for linux. Sounds like you've never
been to deja.com and did a search for "linux AND help".

You have to ask specific questions. Expecting a reply to "my sound card
doesnt work" is foolish. Try asking on this list for a start.

Unclear. Which open standard are you talking about and how is Sun, along

It doesnt take a stone to make NT BSOD. A gentle cough normally works
well :D
