Yeah, admittedly the guy is trying to fill up his "Inbox".  He says

 Duh!  At work, I try to fill in Linux into any available role.  Right 
now, I'm trying to get remote X sessions going.  I'm still pushing for a 
PostgreSQL back-end and I think it looks better if my Linux boxes show 
up when developers use eXcursion to login to Solaris boxes.  But, at 
home I gave up on the Linux experiment.  Just too much work and research 
to do simple things like view AVIs and hear sound.  I do develop on 
Linux at home, though.
