LJ User=hepkitten originally created that. Censored though? Huh. It  
had his face on there before. The one from back when he had hair.

The main problem I have is with NVidia and ATI cards, but I have a  
tough time blaming Linux for that one. It would be nice if I could  
install a distro and have accelerated video. Also, I'd like to be  
able to play MP3's out of the box, but not running Red Hat-ish stuff  
fixes that problem pretty quickly.

JWZ is one of those people that have terminal support problems. If  
you've ever been in the same IRC channel with him, or hell, read his  
journal for any length of time, he asks for help, someone offers it,  
he says they are idiots, then gets it to work.
