I work around the problems, and though they bug me, it doesn't take long for me to do the work arounds and get the system to work properly, however, it seems wrong to me to create a distribution that has a lot of issues, which I've seen grow, and not lessen. A lot of the conflicts that I see in the system, cause problem for non-advanced users. </body> </html>
