A programmer that uses Vista? :O

Vista is a hog of an operating system. Downgrade to Windows XP or get

After downloading the last ubuntu, I stay with vista, sorry.
Last ubuntu

2) Did not install X windows

<Etc.>

Yes. Ubuntu is friggin' weird. Totally nuts in my view.
It's friggin' Windows calling itself Linux.

Obvious advice: Get yourself a real distro.

ObParanoia: It is scary that Ubuntu seems to be getting the mindshare
these days. Maybe it is an MS plot...
