I think this need to be a key foundations of the power user community.
Giving people the tools and info to tweak their system , but in a way
that does not damage their installs or makes it difficult for the
kernel/bug team to help people with bug reports.
We have enough sites inside/outside of Ubuntu that say "hey install this
deb/ppa/file" it awesome and then 10 minute later the person has an
usable system.
