<div>* I tried to install Acrobat Reader (befreo I trashed the machine) but gave up as it got complicated.</div>
<div>* My Wacom tablet works but I have no settings I can change and the screen is not the same size as the tablet !! (although that's better - with Red Hat I never got it to work at all)</div>
<div>* The printer I got to work, but all it does is print, and I need the features to adjust pages, double sided etc - which isn't in the driver or the pdf reader.</div>
<div>* no sound</div>
<div>* can't change screen resolution above 1024x768 which is annoying on a 20" screen</div>
<div> </div>
<div>just some of the reasons that linux drives me nuts !!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But more of that in future posts - I have to go and teach people M$ stuff now !!</div>
