really? i found searching stuff in the package manager much easier than trawling through websites looking for drivers/programs etc. but if you are going for the real Linux "nought but Terminal" approach, then i see your point :lol:

i guess not all of us can be as l33t with computermabobs as Sergei though ;)

I think I'll give this one a miss - I actually intend to stick with 10.04 throughout it's LTS life-cycle.
