   Yet. But Ubuntu users can do quite a lot right from the GUI, pretending   
   that you *must* learn it from the beginning is archaic, Ubuntu don't   
   deserve that.

   Full ack.

   Full ack too.

   Nope.

   Maybe they lack the brain to understand that others may tick differently?

   Yes exactly. I am a pretty old IT consultant and had in my long IT life   
   learned a lot from the newbies. They hat very often shown me the better   
   way to deserve not only them but all the users.

   The tread is named "my experience with Ubuntu" would you please mind to   
   keep that in mind? My experience in keeping to to everything from the GUI   
   is extremely positive in Ubuntu and it is an enrichment.

   Not in that thread.
