[ale] I really incredibly exponentially hate ubuntu unity

[rhia]

I like top post Tuesday as well.
And I really like Enlightenment as well, too.
Ron, I feel your pain, which is why Ubuntu et al annoy me almost, but
not quite, as much as the abomination from Redmond. 
I ran Slackware with a hybridized bastardized gnome/KDE/Enlightenment
desktop setup for years and then switched over to Gentoo with a
hybridized bastardized gnome/KDE/Enlightenment desktop setup. 
Yes, it took a while to work the bugs out. 
No, it's not something I would install on my parents' systems. 
However; once tweaked, and fiddled with, and tweaked some more, I have a
system (and backup configs) that suits me and I can transport to new
hardware or reinstall whenever needed. To me, that ability (to
customize, tweak, fiddle with, etc) is why I prefer running the much
more finicky? persnickety? Gentoo on my own systems. (Sadly, it's also
why I dislike the Windows/Apple wannabes, but that might well start a
distro war I'm not wanting to battle here and now.)
