I'm really upset with my new computer

I can't even log in without permission errors, yet all the files in my 
home directory are rob.rob permissions.  I end up at the root directory 
where all homeless users end up

Nvidia video doesn't work.  I downloaded the latest binary from Nvidia 
and I don't know where it went on my computer.

I'm just having a bad day.  BTW Win XP is working flawlessly, just to 
rub it in.  This is Dell 8600 laptop.  I just needed to rant and 
complain.  It will get figured out in time.  I remember when I bought my 
  Sony laptop I had a whole crop of similar problems.
