How have you this bad attitude to Linux? You have been listening to the worng people. It is Windows that gives troubles. >
About 5 years ago I bought a nice American distribution of Linux. About 50 Euros. It was a nighmare to install. But I did it within 2 weeks. I could'nt have done it without an internet connection (Windows...) because my son already had got the newest graphics card around, and there was no Linux driver for it in the distribution. But I did it. Fortunately someone somewhere in California had developped the needed driver. Even that complicated KDU GUI was running. My plan was to use Staroffice, at the time it was my main need. This I never got working. After 2 more weeks I reformatted the hard disk and never tried again.
I know I should give it a try again one of these days. But Linux is not the success it was supposed to become, and my son doesn't want it. Thus in fact I have no real need any more.
I stop my comments here, it is not the place to talk about Linux.
