    That sounds pretty typical... She wasn't trained very well or she just doesn't get the Technical end of things and has problems reading the stuff on her screen that tells her what procedure to go through in the situation...

    kk I was just making sure I was correct, now if there could be a linux distro that was Ubuntu + Micro$oft functionality (gaming and graphics wise) well then I'd be sold.

    As for now I just tweak windows xp to work how I want and get freeware (which is actually fairly lite) to mimic the graphics

    That's my xp

    Nice looking, My XP is pretty plain and simple, tho my Ubuntu looks like a Mac... Your Dock is basically like mine a copy of Apples...

    Let me know if you can see the pic from the link... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v342/Kei...=Screenshot.png

    The Desktop effects are really cool, tho they just tend to be Eye Candy and really not productive...

    I've heard most games tend not to work on most linux distros except for Wine.

    Can you confirm any truth in this?

    You are correct darkerside04, Remember LInux is not Windows... hehe... I am a huge gamer but for most that's not an issue... There is a service called Cedega from TransGaming that is a pay for service to play Windows games... Codeweavers also has a similar service but it looks like they have more games, called Cross Over Games... Basically they both seem to be a "Pre-Configured for Video Games Version of Wine" and cost around $50 but you don't have to waste the time configuring and Trouble Shooting WINE to get your games working... There are a few Games that have been ported but if you own them you would have to purchase again to get the Linux Version... Good thing, WINE is also FREE as is Linux...

    After years of DOS & Windows for the past month and a half, I've been using Ubuntu 8.10 Linux... I gotta say after I got everything I wanted to install working it's a very nice and easy OS to run pretty much everything I want...
