Well it kinda looks like I can't use Linux anymore...

jonesproductionsltd.com — I've tried numerous distros lately, and only two actually work. Fedora and Debain. Ubuntu 8.04 among others do not work for me at all. And both Fedora and Debian are nowhere near as perfect. When is Linux going to start working again?

Who dugg this?
