What drivers do you have? The updates for linux are far more nvidia stuff, the latest, unfortunately nvidia does not permit vendor of commercial x drivers to support them; after studying los and so i found out that the problem was with x itself and especially kde and friends, so i set the startup to windowmaker and it works quite well [still no usb mouse]. sound is ok [but i have to redo it] and, kind of funny, it was the only thing kde could start up, an enourmous windows startup sound clip -) otherwise. For instance, you have the ImageMagick utilities, which >provide commands like `convert', `animate' which are really powerful. actually, i run those on the windows machine for years now, much unix stuff is nowadays available on windows. one reason for me to use windows is that our editing env is dos/win based [which is why i'm working on texwork for both platforms] and most fo all, because fabrice always very fast provides me pretty good latest pdftex binaries. Also, ghostview on windows is good and acrobat only available on windows. I want to play with linux for: (1) texwork, (2) context in cvs and (3) document compile farm and (4) context on demand; most organizations we work for use windows so i need both platforms.
