Options To get Working

[Clark]

I have a system that gives OOO without spellcheck; Thunderbird without 
the option of right click send photo in condensed form, it will send a 
photo but it is huge;  I selected storage media from the system menu to 
save a file to Floppy and it can't find the Floppy, the relevant Help 
files either speak in command line (which I don't understand or give the 
message no help files;  I tried to Rip a DVD and KB3 just sits there 
without moving, it won't even play the DVD.
It seems I have wasted more than a week on Kbuntu, time to move on. 
Is there any chance that Ubuntu or some other distribution would work or 
is this "what you see is what you get Linux".
