Stop complaining, Deate!! When I bought my new system I got all on board!! Video, Audio etc.
When you get a new system make sure everthing included is Linux friendly and on board!!

Complaining is my strong suit! You know, what I do best in life I just hate that simple updates make you have to re-evaluate what happened to a system that was working perfectly...this in it self is enough to drive converts back to Windows...IMHO...instead of pouring his money into making a "Pretty" GUI, the Head Honcho ought to pour that money into making sure updates don't bork drivers

Have any of you verified that your not running 'unsupported' or 'back ports' in your software sources for updates??? I know I got bit- in the backside a couple weeks ago, cause somehow it was selected - I don't remember selecting them and am very cautious about it (I've been bit before).

Yeah, I "Know" I am! But I still like to complain I think I did this a while back to bring my compiz up-to-date with latest plug-ins

I think you have forgotten what Windows is like. When I have to re-install Windows it can't find most of my drivers(lan,audio,video,chipset etc.). With an Ultimate re-install I'm up and running in less than 1 hour!!! What I do now with Windows is just re-format and load the image file back onto the hard drive. I'll be getting a new computer soon and just dread installing Windows!! Hopefully by then I will have found all the Linux software I need so it won't be nessessary!!
