They are trolls, nothing more. They like to put a spider and wasp under a
glass jar and watch them fight, the way kids do.

Yeah, but who gets the wasp and spider under the jar? They must be going
in willingly since no troll can force them on Usenet. It takes two (or
more) to tango/flame.

Unless you actually are serious but with a screen name like yours, its
impossible to take you seriously. However, it does sound like most
Ubuntu and or Linux in general installs.

Saying Linux is or is not better than Windows is like saying a shovel is
better than a rake. Yeah, it might be, if you are trying to dig a hole. If
you want to rake out a seed bed, a rake is better.
Some distributions are better than others when it comes to having drivers
included so that it runs on your hardware right out of the box. Others
require that you know how to rebuild a kernel and hunt down and compile
drivers and missing applications. Linux just wasn't made for the technically
faint of heart. Windows was.
And with a screen name like the guy before you...I have a hard time taking
anything he says seriously...puulleeaassee...his Daddy needs to take his
computer way from him until he grows up.

Oh and don't forget that when you finally do get your video card to work,
along comes an updated Kernel and breaks it again....

That's what happened to me.
I had all my video working great with Linux, dual monitors and all.
I did some updates from the Fedora repositories and upon the next
reboot I was left at a command line root login.
Took me 2 days to figure out how to fix it and lucky I had another
computer that I could get on the net with or I would have been dead.
No more Linux for me.
It's just not worth the time wasted trying to make simple things work.
