He isn't talking about anything that's Linux's fault - it's Ubuntu's!! How they could claim to have a "user-friendly" desktop distro and then release it even though it requires this sort of hacking to get a secure wireless connection going?!? Are you joking me ?!? Are they on crack?!?
On top of this I go from dealing with this whole mess onto getting a broken distro upgrade to work - 2 hours of downloading to THEN tell me that it won't work!! Want to try again? Well "Downloading 1 of 1567 packages" ... here we go again! (I know you can set apt or synaptic to keep downloaded files, but most of the time you don't want this - but to delete them after an error?!? On crack again?!?)
I must like pain...I've installed PCLinuxOS for a plethora of "average users" and had to do 1/1000th the babysitting I have to do for Ubuntu. It works right out of the box, playing MP3's, DVD's, all of it...
