Comment 23 for bug 87951

Thanks for that Peter.

I have taken the easy way out and gone back to Windows XP for my IBM
laptop server. It and WAMP just works. I have wasted far too long on
linux.

Reading an Australian Personal Computer article on the next version of
ubuntu, it STILL doesn't cater for high resolution laptop screens. So
I would still have to patch it for my Dell Inspiron 6400.

Until linux can work for people as well as Windows does (I haven't
tried Vista yet), it will remain the playground of geeks.

I have been thinking of setting up a media centre. I briefly tried
myth on my Dell laptop. It was horrible -I was unable to see which
buttons were highlighted as active, and the settings were to my mind
unintuitive and unhelpful. If I do set up such a box, it will
probably run Vista.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see linux make a huge dent in
Windows sales. But it isn't going to happen any time soon.

Regards,
Ken.
