Is there any way I could use a custom stylesheet to make my web browser
rearrange text in two or more columns so I don't get my eyes crossed

No, a place wher
I am trying to set up a USB sound bar on someone else's laptop running
ubuntu 10.10 with a gnome desktop.
Since it did not work out of the box, I thought I'd first enhance my
non-existent skills in this area by first practicising on my machine
with debian ‘lenny’ and no DE environment.

How would one ‘use, study, and modify the software’ if one could not
afford it in the first place?
