There are some complaints about Ubuntu and a lack of userability etc. If you don't like something about Ubuntu, change it. Learn how to work with your Unix-like system. The mailing list doesn't need to be filled with complaints providing no help or useful information. If you like it, great! Get involved and make a difference. If you don't like it, great! Get involved and understand how the distribution is organized. Alternatively, you can leave and go to something else. Enough complaining, it's not helpful. Alexander
