Thats exactly what I have said.

I was not blaiming Red Hat or SuSe. It is thanks to these companies
that I am able to use Linux at all. I was complaining about the lake
of good documentry on the modules, since as I have written, when
I tried to remove modules to increase the speed, I could not know
which module does what and there was no good documentry to help me.
That was what I was complaining about.

Actually.. whenever i've seen a newly bought computer, Windows
was actually tuned very, very badly. The store just pushed lots of
"exclusive" applications into it, and Windows was tuned very
badly. Me and my friend have been able to increase these
people's computer speed dramaticly simply by getting rid of what they
did not wanted, and tuning Windows to the computer. Something
that the store was seposed to do, instead of pushing more software
into the StartUp folder. I dont think that the introduction
of Linux is really going to change that behavior.
