Linux has always worked fine for me, even on my IBM Thinkpad t22. I think it is the most configurable of any.......My friends use Macintosh and Windows. but who would want everything working and not editing of any configuration files????
and why did you edit you configuration file again??? your desiered screen resolution was there when you first setup the system under the 'custom' button

also when i goto shutdown it says power off and acpi off called or something and the weird thing is the computer shuts down but the lcd screen stays on...
wtf?
Tonight just isn't your night! We'll need alittle bit more info than that. Are you still on FC3 or SUSE? If you're not familiar with command lines try to got to ---> Main Menu --> Accessories --> System Tools ---> Network Configuration. If your using Gnome and try to configure from there.
or go to the command line and try...
Code:
ifconfig eth1 up

I just hold the power button at that point, seems to have already unmounted the drive at that point becouse I dont get any check of root file system on bootup like I would if I just forced it to power off when running
