I think you know why you came to Linux in the first place, and now you just have to decide whether it's worth sticking on, through the minor headaches... possibly change some of your choices, opting for ease of use (only install those packages available through yast, for example)... stick with 'supported' configs, and find yourself a good help group... This list is one of the best that I've seen, I've had nothing but great experience with the users on this list.
Hey guys, THANK YOU ALL. Wow! What a response. I'm very grateful to you all. And you are correct. There *is* a reason I came to Linux in the first place, and I momentarily forgot that. Simply put, I was frustrated and lost perspective. I will contact LUGs in my Central FLorida area, and I will re-read all your replies again...and again - as a reminder to keep my head and attitude properly positioned. As a retired 70 year old, I now have something exciting to wake up to every morning. Thanks everybody. God Bless you all - or as in my redneck county, "y'all" Andy
