I can also understand your frustration, not so much that i have had the issues but i have my aunt that i am converting over to Ubuntu and we are both trying to work thought the issues that shes having so we both know how to fix the issues and so it will be easier when i try to help customers that also try it out. I myself had no issues installing its when i am trying to mess with the down and dirty stuff,messing with Conky (cringes), trying to get games working with Wine (crines even harder). All of these things that i am doing on this computer is just testing out the water until i get my full computer for school which will be a duel boot with Vista and Ubuntu. I am also turning out to be a distro junkie (someones thats constantly trying out new distros).
