That's exactly where the problem lies. It should be easier =) Because 
fiddling with an OS is nothing but purely unproductive, it is something 
that should always be hidden from the user. I need Ubuntu and Java, but 
they won't do my work so they should work completely without me being 
involved in setting them up. It's no excuse that  even Microsoft can't 
do it better. I'm not trashing your post, I read the rest of it too =) 
Just a side note.

Cheers,
