pmsl... top comments and occassionaly true... Linux can be a nightmare to get things working on sometimes due to hardware support from manufacturers, I generally have the most problem with 3D support in ATI graphic cards.. It must be said however that hardware detection these days is pretty good in general since Novell and IBM jumped onto the wagon, I suppose this adds viability to it...
PS... I have a missus and a daughter, so Linux hardware support must have worked enough to allow that situation to happen
