Ubuntu craps in my face!

It seems I will never be an Ubuntu friend. It has AGAIN crapped on me twice!

* My daughters PC is based on an ASUS motherboard, but it seems that the NIC (Network Interface Card) doesn’t work. There are a few more or less complex solutions to it, but it seems no plug and play solution is obtainable. Also, in general applying fixes to a faulty NIC function is messy as it means running around the house using a USB stick, where the downloaded stuff is on the stick. This lack of drivers and Plug ‘n Play that is Plug ‘n Pray drives me nuts. I downloaded an ISO of the Ubuntu 8.10 beta, but booting that freaked the monitor. It defaulted to 1152*whatever (which I know as the monitors warning system told me) on a 17″ monitor that can only do 1024*768. Oh, how do I HATE this!

* My HTPC has a GRUB based dual boot, and I just booted the Mythbuntu partition where my account was suddenly gone.

That’s it. Mythbuntu is getting out of here! I’m killing that partition right here and now! Exit my life you incomplete retarded piece of cracp!
