Mike, you make choose to be 'village idiot', it's your right.
But your persistance handsomely makes up for whatever you think you lack.
If I had half of your persistance, I would actully accomplish things.
Hang in there pal, you're doing good... :)

You all know me. I'm the self-proclaimed village idiot. I use linux 100%
on both of my computers. If the village idiot can do it amyone can. I run
Mint12 on my laptop and Ubuntu on the desktop. The only grief I've had with
this is when I first installed mint it would panic when I was running it
on the battery. Thanks to you guys' recommendation that `lil problem was
solved by upgrading the kernel. (I then tried upgrading to an even newer
kernel but it started to panic on battery again so I reset it to the
kernel I knew worked.

Linux definitely does not "suck" as a desktop, but if calling it that
helps fix bits that do - sure. I use linux exclusively for home and work,
which is generally no small feat, relegating windows to vm only. My wife as
a non-sysadmin user runs linux natively as well, doing Minecraft, facebook
games, gimp for graphics, openoffice, and general every day use. While it
gives me grief at times, it also gives me far more potential than any
windoze system would without installing linux in vm or cygwin on it.
I thought my big desktop system had issues until I used a customer
dual-head win7 system for a few days for systems access, and there were far
more split desktop rendering issues than I would have expected for modern
winos. I suddenly appreciated linux that much more with or without my
compiz/ati issues.

Well same here, and for the pure spirited 'no its another skin of
Windows' try watching Jupiter Broadcasting Linux Sucks on Youtube where
they are addressing why Linux doesn't work in the desktop, laptop arena.
Made me re evaluate a few things and I am die hard linux fan living in a
mixed environment at work.
