I've just installed Ubuntu Linux 11.04, because Windows kept crashing,

There are two problems so far: the 'Time and Date' dialogue box will
not appear, Ubuntu's website is useless as it says you need to get the
box up first to enable time setting... obviously they're staffed by a
typical incompetence of engineers, telling you their product does
something when it plainly doesn't.

Also only USB mice will work, ones that use the proper mouse port will
only move the cursor vertically... how incompetent can you get?


All the main OSes work on nearly 100% of hardware, but not 100%. Far
more likely is errors on teh installation CD, Ubuntu is certainly a
very capable OS. I'd recommend Linux Mint though, its Ubuntu with its
main shortcoings sorted. Mint 7 beats later versions.
