I am very computer literate with any WINDOWS OS. Until last month I had never heard of UBUNTU. As but one of the growing number of very unhappy MICROSOFT/WINDOWS users In started looking for alternatives. Since my first PC in the mid 1990's I have never used a MAC or LINUX. My first impressions of UBUNTU were quite favorable. Right now I'm about ready to dump the whole idea.

After providing all requested information and more when I signed up with UBUNTU a couple of weeks ago, hand-writing all digital information as a backup, I am certain of my profile, user name and password. Just this instant I got a pop-up window indicating a problem was discovered with the question - did I want to report it? I always make every effort to make such sites as this user friendly so two-way communication is very important. I clicked on "YES", I was asked to authenticate and my CORRECTLY - as properly spelled, proper upper and lower case usage and SUBMIT - Iget a quick reply that my information was WRONG. NO - you have issues you are simply not addressing as the multiple almost identical questions are posted. How long would it take to research the BUG, write a fix for it and spend the time pounding out the lines of code then PUBLISHING it for everyone's use?

I speak, read and write Windows 7 Professional from log on to REG EDIT and back. Here, I have no idea what a"POLYCY KIT" is and an answer indicating that a "file should be written with "xxxxvvcvnsxc" looks just like that to me.

Two more days jumping through some weird to me hoops and I'm outta here! I would hang on if this well thought out posting was replied to in "1-2-3, A-B-C, so you're new to UBUNTU and LINUX, point your thinking in this direction and let's start with an everyday explanation of things you guys eat drink and sleep" and I'll gladly endure the training as I AM THE IGNORANT ONE HERE and hopefully can promote UBUNTU to a long list of friends and family who are devout and ever growing more resentful WINDOWS users.
