Synaptic Dropped From Ubuntu 11.10

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 23, 2011 @10:11AM from the that-does-not-sound-like-an-upgrade dept.

An anonymous reader links to a story at Techie Buzz according to which (quoting): "When Canonical started developing the Ubuntu Software Center, I knew that a time will come when it will completely replace Synaptic. The Software Center is a noob-friendly replacement for Synaptic where users can discover new applications more easily. 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 Ubuntu Software Center still lacks many important features that are present in Synaptic."

i think you mis-read a demographic generalization as an all-out attack on old people.
hell, even i'd like all my update stuff in one place (which of course it is - it's in terminal under apt-get).
good luck with that thesis, then.
