My attitude on this sort of thing is changing lately. If I am going to
program, I program. If I am going to be a "user", I use. No more editing
XFree86 config files, and other wasted time for me. It's watsed because:
If I write a program, it works, and continues to work. It's work that
produced some product. If I spend 4 hours playing with XFree86 to get
dual monitor working.. I probably didn't even learn something... I should
have just used a distro or script that made it work. I like "hacking",
but it has to be interesting, not drudgery. Editing XFree86Config every
single time I installed linux.. that was drudgery.
