[CoLoCo] I Love Ubuntu!

[David L. Willson]

For the record, I said bugged, not buggered, and I was talking about
this bug here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890

Gusty 64 is not "buggered"; I've been using it and enjoying the Heck out
of it, but it is "bugged" in a place or two.

 - Timezone thingy doesn't allow selection of timezones, only cities.
This is annoying during the install and all other times, too.

 - Partition-shrinking-thingy during install is impossible for normals
to understand.  Needs to be much more plain English.  (ie: "I'm going to
shrink your Windows partition from 150GB to 73GB.  You will still have
used 50GB of that partition, so after the shrink you will have 23GB of
free space available for use in Windows.  This will give you 77GB of
space dedicated to your new Linux system.  The installation will use
about 4GB, and you will have 73GB available for data and programs.")
The numbers should change as you move the slider.

 - For some reason "match" is not a valid user-name during install.  My
friend's first name is Match and it frustrates him that he can't use
that as a username.
