There really do seem to be a lot of people around--on this list and
elsewhere, who have switched to Ubuntu, dealing with its conception of
average user, because of lack of time--or perhaps, as we age, it's not
as much fun to spend time configuring every little thing.  


On the other hand, one would think that RH, which is in theory at least,
more of a server oriented system, would stop deprecating its curses
based tools in favor of pretty guis.  (I'm always good for an excuse to
drag RH and Fedora into it, to point out how they're trying to be like
Windows.)

It's also extremely frustrating to find that something that always
worked has stopped working, with no obvious documentation about it,
especially when one has been spoiled by FreeBSDs UPDATING section.
