"[ubuntu] is the first Linux-based system I have encountered that is tolerable enough for me to use for everyday work. That is a great achievement. But Ubuntu is still rife with design flaws, some of them severe." – matthew thomas, "my first 48h enduring ubuntu 5.04", via henso.com.

d'accord. especially with ubuntu on an ibook.

i hope many developers, especially those of gaim, firefox et al. read this (and generously will accept matthew's own flaws in observation, description and knowledge). because they could still improve the basics of these really very nice pieces of software.
