Mark actually gets his hands dirty running the systems (on C7). He has a
valid point which worries me - Red Hat's gradual imitation of Micro
$oft's aversion to ordinary people understanding and controlling their
systems.

Luckily some of us remain on C6 because we love simplicity and
stability. When C6 expires some will migrate to BSD rather than face
C7's persistent difficulties and confusion.


And no he doesn't have a point because that's nonsense

And course with the subject chosen this whole thread burned into flames
rather than being constructive

Can we just kill this now and if there is actually something wrong have a
fresh thread with diagnostics?
