Ha ha! something else to drive me up the wall!

Since my last post on this....I spent quite a long time using sidux - which was excellent.
But I'm now back with Kubuntu, because the sidux lot, decided to use a different network configuration tool. Which I found out doesn't like my network card at all - there was a work round for it but it would only work with the live version of sidux, not the installed version.
And I only found that out as I managed to screw up when I got a new monitor and was trying to configure it (don't ask) and ended up having to try and re-install the sidux!
Anyway to cut a long story short I ended up having to install Kubuntu 8.04, which is where I'm at now.
I've also got a "T-Mobile G1" a.k.a. "googlephone". It has the android OS and in theory should work like any other linux based distro, but it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation for it. Plus lots of the info that came from T-Mobile is very vague so I can't, at the moment, transfer any music to it and yes, it's driving me up the bloody wall.
Ah well, I suppose "shit" has to happen from now and then!
