I have other problems as it is. Being a devout vim user and having vi keybindings everywhere (shell, mutt, window management), I already look like a "goober who can't type" when I try helping non-vi people. The streams of jjjjjjjjjjj's in a text editor usually get pretty good responses.
We weren't the ones to call it soccer. You can blame that on the Brits. Football actually diverged into 2 different games - Rugby rules football and Association rules football. Association was slanged into soccer while rugby stayed rugby. When Rugby rules football was being played over in the US, it changed and morphed into what Americans call football. Have you ever wondered why Britain's oldest football magazine is called "Soccer World"?
It does have the "Preview what has to be done" thing, but it does not tell you exactly what is happening. I'd like an option where I could have it tell me exactly which file it is editing and what lines it is going to add. A super-verbose if you will. This will help in cross-platform work. If you know the config files, you can jump on a Solaris or IRIX box and figure out what needs to be done from the CLI. If you have no clue what's going on and you don't have your beloved linuxconf, you're up shit creek. I understand that for the average user this isn't a big concern, but it is for me and is why I don't use it.

Linux 2.3.0

I would reccomend that after applying the 2.3.0 patch, you edit/usr/src/linux/Makefile and change the version values to 2.2.8. This should ensure that OSS works correctly while still providing all the great new features of 2.3.0
This has got to be the funniest thing I've read today. Change the only thing different about 2.3.0 back to what it was in 2.2.8. I'm sure this information will be useful in the very near future, but you have to admit it sounds pretty pointless:)

How about a spell checker while you're at it?
That's what all the "great" companies use.
Or anywhere in New Jersey!!!
