do you see the glass as half full? or half empty?

wait.  I already know the answer to that.


did you have a question to ask? or just complaining?

You really cannot expect everything to work out of the box on ANY
distribution or operating system.  You ever try and install XP or Vista
when it was first released without device drivers,??  If you install an
operating system on ANY new hardware your going to have problems.  work
through it,  aimless complaining does no one any good. If the sound card
doesnt work, email the manufacturer and see how far you get. .... if you
even get a response.  then, come back here where there are people that
are here that are willing to help.  for free.
