I understand that it is a question of resources. It may not be now, but 
when? If I stop asking questions is it going to vansih from everyones minds?

How do I go about that? I also have some things Im not able to fix. Im not a 
coder or developer. What I have done has taken a little luck and a lot of 
trial and error. An example of things I cant fix is for some reason words 
dont appear on buttons n the save file dialog sometimes. I have not been 
able to create the packgaes that run scripts to install the pulgins. Im 
still force archetecure i386 packages at some point.
I havent been able to make a wine package do what firefox will. In other 
words I can create a binary .deb file that puts firefox where I need it. I 
cant do that with wine for some reason. wine just wont work unless its 
forced.

I hope so, I really like the Ubuntu community, and while the 64bit distro 
has some things missing. I like how stable and fast it is.
