Could you please e-mail it to me?
I'm still quite a noob in Linux, but want to know the hard way of getting a perfect box :) Getting a box with Linux preinstalled is not an option here in Ukraine.

BTW, the problem is indeed in what you (and me, and all other people) know. When I first installed Linux a couple years ago and tried it, I thought it to be a nightmare. Tons of questions like "Where is..." and "How do I... ". Hours of googling and calling Linux geeks I keep in touch with.
Now I can use it for my home and office needs quite well, though it is a lot for me to learn.
The problem is in the heads, not in the OS itself.
