For christsakes I just found with Fedora 17 they don't even include the Unix man pages in the default installation.

For all intents and purposes, Fedora and Ubuntu are no longer Unix-like operating systems. They've both boarded the fast train to OS X city, where a vaguely UNIX-like base is combined with a completely unrelated userland that's incompatible with any other OS.

Fedora and Ubuntu are trying to package Linux for people who don't want Linux.

If you actually want to use Linux, consider switching to a distro that cares about you. I chose Debian, which is great if you can handle their rather odd release cycle. There are plenty of others.

Slashdot's Comment Moderation System Sucks

Because it allows "the majority" to filter out ideas they don't agree with. They're not rating the quality of the posts, just whether it matches their tastes. People say they like GNOME 3, and their comments don't appear, but rant about why you don't and your post shows on the page, it's stupid.
