What, you want all the icons to work? Sheesh, some people are never satisfied...

 

[CTho9305]

Well, could you post some more info (all of your hardware and linux distro/version)? Maybe some people here could help you with that (since some of us are familiar with some of those 600 pages)

Yes, Linux IS more difficult to configure, but it is worth it when you get there. The problem is, when you DO get there the first time, you will realize that there are a LOT of things you should have done differently (Just because of the learning process). You will probably want to rebuild using all the new stuff you have learned
