Well after a recent experience with Ubuntu and it's developers better understanding of how to manage my disk space than I do I declare it the Vista of linux. Any distribution that deletes files it doesn't maintain or require in /tmp for any reason has earns a place in hell right next to Windows Vista. Updating packages and rebooting doesn't require deleting data from /tmp.
Why does Ubuntu exist anyways? It's nothing more than a debian rip. Sounds like somebody thought they could invent a better wheel. These efforts should be concentrated on the core Debian distribution which actually has a chance at adoption in the enterprise. If Linux is going to gain any real traction in the marketplace this distro of the day has to stop and people need to focus on core functionality not cool fake transparent widgets. Get a working product then make it look cool.
Well time to find a new distro for the Netbook. Maybe someday Opensolaris will support the graphics driver and I can run a real OS on it.
