Any idea where you heard it from? Can't seem to get the correct search on google ):
I'm only using this OS to run virtual machines on - the next step in reducing global warming from the rack in the corner of the room - so things that bug you aren't a problem for me. vmware's just fine. System's just crashed on me again - I had a partition nfs mounted and was copying a dvd over and listening to some music on it. When it came back up, the copy just carried on, and the music ( Blazing Apostles - Be Bop Deluxe ) started playing again. That was fun!
