Blah blah blah linux blah blah blah open source.

There I said it.

Now I'll extrapolate for those that want to read more.

I've been living in the past. I've been using "Dapper" which is a linux distribution released *gasp* several months ago. Recently I upgraded to the newest release. These are my notes.

Dear Firefox:
Please put the "close tab" button back where it was in 1.5, over on the right for all tabs, not on the tab itself. Practically speaking this helps me close the porn windows much faster when the "close tab" button is in the same spot each time.
:Edit:
About:config -- > browser.tabs.closeButtons set value to 3
All fixed now!


Dear Novell:
When did you get back in the game with "evolution"? I promptly uninstalled evolution in dapper with much trouble, as I am much more adept with thunderbird. I gave it a go this time but damn. novell? didn't that go out with win 3.1?

Dear Open Office:
I love you. I will have your children.

Dear KStars:
Please make a release that doesn't rely on KDE's dependencies and I'll have your children too. I'm a slut that way.


Dear Gimp:
I see you are still the posterchild for "Interface Hell." Someone has to carry the cross. I just wish it wasn't you.

I guess that's all the open letters I have for now. I do notice my system runs more slowly with "Gutsy" than it did with "Dapper" but I can live with that. It isn't the fastest processor on the market and yet it still works well. All in all I have nothing but good things to say about the Ubuntu version of the linux kernel.
