I'm not saying that Linux is the awesomest thing and Windows is the bad guy (or vice-versa). But just blaming a kernel because someone had a single issue on single distro is (at least in my opinion) illogical.
Again, it is a general tendency to label 'highly-configurable' things as 'difficult' and 'things with less or no choice' as 'easy'![]()
Let me repeat what I said in last reply : I hope OP understands the difference between Linux and Ubuntu. Yes, those are two different things

By the way, what exactly do you mean by "extending your displays" in Ubuntu 11? What graphics card does your computer have?

The employee there was putting my name and address and so on into some kind of computerized form. So he typed my name, then he fumbled for the mouse and clicked somewhere. Then he typed my address, and then he fumbled for the mouse and clicked again. Then he typed... you get the picture? Nobody had told him that you could use the tab key to move from one field to the next. Switching between keyboard and mouse is unproductive if you're using the keyboard for any significant amount of data entry.

I don't think you know what "free" means: What is free software?
"To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. "

Joe Ess wrote:Just because some people think of Linux as "free as in beer" doesn't change the fact that the creators and maintainers of the project think of it as "free as in speech". Criticising Linux because it is "free only if your time is worthless" completely misses the greatest advantages of the OS.
