“Yet it is the author’s experience that such a killer
application setup is very difficult to achieve with current
GNU/Linux. In fact, total failure has so far been the result after
many hours of attempts. Two popular distributions and 2 releases of
those distributions where attempted: Ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron,
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex beta, Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 beta. All
failed miserably.“This was not for lack of documentation. In fact, there is so
much forum postings and documentation that it is difficult to find
relevant information and appears to be mass confusion. What is
found is either grossly out of date, applies to old versions of
X-Windows or is current and up to date, applies to your
distribution but simply does not work.”
