hi Roni, problem in windows = no choice and mercy of bil gates. problem in one linux distro = another distro. remember there is monopoly and no transperent deals with windows. and if your sound etc. works out of the box in debian, then who is going to hang you for not using ubuntu? if debian suits you go ahead. and just wait for the debian 4 release, and find the installer the easiest thing in this world. I don't have problem with ubuntu 6.06.1 but may be you have and I don't deny that. infact even I am waiting for orca to become completely stable and thus gnome desktop and related applications completely accessible, but I don't grumble about it. if I am a programmer, I contribute in the development, and if the need is that urgent then I will hire a programming to do the job if I am a lay user. again the issue comes of cost. linux gives you complete freedom to do what ever you want with your copny wich windows crapware does not give. so I may as well pay for getting my job done and no m$ or their likes can come and catch me for "derivative work". this is the best thing in linux. so never grumble but either wait or pay. the system will do what you want.. and as you rightly said, people will pay for some system if it does what they want. so pay for getting what you want and still linux cd can be downloaded for free don't forget.
I paid for my P4's Win XP pro Rs. 6,700/-. In my older machine, I paid for my Win Me full pack Rs. 5,250/-. All this in spite of not being well off. In order to convince my customers to use legal software, I practiced it first to see if I could do it before expecting it from them.
Did you play VCDs in Kubuntu 6.06 or Ubuntu 6.06?
