sad-act techies ?

LOL... I tried setting my machine up with Linux a few weeks ago.. All I
wanted was to have a local Apache server with PHP support ( to match my
service providers setup ).
Not much to ask ( It was the Professional Version I bought ) but I managed
to spend the best part of sunday installing and trying to get a GUI app for
administering Apache working. The app still aint working but I just havent
got the patience to figure it out. I mean... why would you want to bundle an
app with the OS which doesnt work out of the box.. I like Linux but it's
just too time consuming.. Sure.. I love to prod and poke around a system (
who wouldnt ? <grin> ) but I just dont have the time. I just like to
Install-and-go.
So.. I just hope is that the kit comes with a ready to go Linux because I
was almost ready to throw the whole machine out the window with that last
experience.

ermmm.. does that mean Im not a sad-act techie ?
