"... and I've given up. Between the backport madness, button relocation debate, purplification, and a complete disassociation with the community I did something which I didn't think I'd ever do. After 10 years of .deb distros, I'm running Fedora."
So long, cya, don't let the reboot command hit ya on the you know... Yeah, the purple theme thing is weird. I changed it after first boot. The window control buttons on the left was lame, so I moved 'm back to the right. After that, I had a strange problem with X losing its xorg.conf (or what ever the main config file is called) after installing the "reccomended" nVidia driver for my box. Removed that and installed the cutting edge ver. Since then, no issues. Lucid LTS is pretty sweet. Even after the slight pain of dealing with the video driver I was hardly ready to go to Fedora. You must have a pretty thick skin when it comes to your OS's.

Wait a second... window manager buttons and colors are all user-configurable. If you find minor configurations like that to be daunting, how did you ever manage to summon the skill to install an OS in the first place?
You're either trolling or you're retarded. Wait: "by Anonymous Coward" usually means "trolling," right?
