Sorry I didn't give reasoning:
23:54 < thomasg> netstar: is there any actual reason why you dislike

23:54 < netstar> uh oh!
23:56 < netstar> mmmm they're not really thumbnails...
23:56 < netstar> also it's continuity with other stuff
23:58 < netstar> also I wouldnt say I dislike Linux, I guess...I like choice
and the old saying about "eggs and baskets..."
