I'm in agreement here.  I can't imagine being that dis-satisfied with 
something and constantly complaining about what I can't change to people 
that don't have the same complaint nor an ability to change it either.  
I was also hesitant to suggest finding another distro as well because 
I'm not usually fond of the love it or leave it mentality, but at some 
point one has to either surrender or go get what you need.    Besides 
all that, this distro is a gift.  If someone gives me a shirt I don't 
like and it can't be returned or easily altered, I say (and feel) thank 
you, and then don't wear it.
