For me, gradual hurdles vs. massive roadblock after roadblock is the difference between enjoying the learning process instead of dreading it.

    >> after taking several hours just to get onboard wifi working (xps m1330) I've got an xps m1330 and it's run Gutsy and now Hardy without any issues with the Wifi. I've got the Intel 3945ABG card in there. I had the N card in for a while and couldn't ever get it to work well with Gutsy.

  About those pesky shortcuts: My suggestion would be to make windows shortcuts available by default: Win+D = minimize/unminimize all windows Win+R = Terminal I also added Win+G = Gedit and Win+F = Search (which really needs some improvement) Finally, standardize some behavior! Gedit and your ctrl+alt+pgup to change tabs, I'm looking at you.
