Hey Joshua,
With all due respect, I think there are two things that are important to
keep in mind here. First, we are all using a Linux distribution that is
meant for people who don't mind editing a few text files when
necessary. If this were something you paid for that was touted as a
smooth experience for the uninitiated Linux user, then your angst would
be more understandable. Second, some have gone out of their way to help
community users like you and me so that the answer to this problem is
easy to implement. In the interest of acknowledging the sheer volume of
consistently high-quality volunteer efforts of many in this community, I
suggest that a better response might be, "Thanks for providing the
information that solves this issue in a timely fashion." ;)
Tom
