Mark Shuttleworth is a crack baby IMO. Unexpectedly, Canonical has decided that it is time for the Software Center to replace Synaptic as well. So, in the next daily build of Ubuntu 11.10, Synaptic will no longer be installed by default. The Software Center?!!!
First he ditches Gnome and now Synaptic. Sure, Wayland is a welcome step away from X but the Software Center?!!! What next, The APT package manager replaced by Yast? Argh.,, OK, "crack baby"is harsh, but, I do not see the advantage of forcing a program on users when most never open it. This is like deleting ThunderBird from the Universe repository and adding Kmail to the default Ubuntu installation (no offense Jeff). Why not Konqueror for FireFox. reference: http://techie-buzz.com/foss/synaptics-removed-ubuntu-11-10.html Chris... -- "As we open our newspapers or watch our television screens, we seem to be continually assaulted by the fruits of Mankind's stupidity." -Roger Penrose _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
