Ok. Next time, mention that. It helps a lot.

"Linux" doesn't give you anything, it's the kernel. Some GUI tools are
good, some aren't. Nothing beats configuring stuff yourself instead of
relying on some GUI tool.

Please, next time, think about the way you post. Many people don't
think about this and put their reply at the top of their post, quoting
all of the original post below it. Now take a look at this:

In the English speaking world we read left to right, top to bottom.

If people do it the other way around, things will clear up instantly:

The best response type is "in-line" posting, that is, remove all the
quoted text that does not apply to your response, adding your comments
in context underneath as you go.

The distributed nature of Usenet is causing that not everyone sees all
posts in a particular thread in the right order or or even at all. If
you make sure you put your reply in a top-to-bottom order, people will
be able to easily read through it from top to bottom.

Be sure to remove all excess quoted text though. There is nothing more
annoying than having to scroll down three pages of quoted text you
already read, just to read a two-lined reply ;-)
