    Whoa, isn't this a bit over-agressive ? Please stay realistic.
    For about 4 months I am now struggling to get a smooth running Linux system.
    Despite several postings in this list and the help of many people, I am still
    facing the following problems - none of which exist in my Windows XP :
    * random/occasional failure to start wireless PCMCIA during boot
    * black screen after starting NVidia driver
    * no CDDB access by Konqueror
    * incorrect (too large) printing by KMail
    * no euro symbol available
    Please note that I decided to move away from Microsoft because I don't want to
    be depended upon the "secret" and embedded functions that Microsoft is
    forcing upon me.
    But "garbage" ? No !
    So far my Windows works better than my Linux. ;-(
    Nevertheless I keep motivated to get things right under Linux, although
    sometimes I'm getting tired about the lack of progress.
    Cheers,
