Seems to be a general theme in Linux, special circumstances for everything. I am done wasting hours trying to accomplish a task that requires downloading 4 or 5 packages only to find "that is not the case". We can't all be programmers, so until some standards are implemented for a wide variety of applications(beyond text edit, games, email and web) Linux will continue to stagnate at <1% of the desktop market. But hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing for those who know how to install/use the tools.

Yeah, I've been trying since Dapper, days lost getting ralink to work static w/ wpa. days lost getting ati chipsets to work(single, let alone dual monitors) only to have it all screwed beyond usability in one driver update that cannot be turned back. Starting from scratch again? No thanks, free time is over, it's only educational if the learning is applicable outside these annoyances. Will try again when X window is fixed, graphics drivers work, packages INSTALL the 1st time.... or when hell freezes over. Whichever comes 1st.
