I like Ubuntu to a point. My friends and I have deemed it the best
distro to just "get in and drive" so-to-speak. But for those of us who
want to work "under the hood" - it totally sucks. Just read my post
from last week on environment variables. There's no standard way to
set them. You have to edit some proprietary "Environment" file, and
even then they aren't expanded, so you can't do something like
EUDIR=$HOME/euphoria, you'd have to do EUDIR=/home/greg/euphoria,
which totally blows!

I'm going back to Slackware as soon as I get a new NIC in my Linux
box. I just can't not work under the hood.
