Vadim,

You misunderstood me I was not talking about the actual starting of a
program, but rather configuring the computer to so that it will rum a
program like World of Warcraft to work on that computer. And my
criticism of the developers is that they still design Ubuntu and all the
other Linux distros with the assumption that the end user is something
more sophisticated than a semi=literate computer user. I will admit that
Ubuntu is better at fixing this issue than other Linux distros, but it
still needs a lot of improvement in that area.
