I guess Apple doesn't consider their users to be idiots then. We can't
give our users options. It might confuse them. Forget my confusion
over wondering where the hell the terminal went, and who the hell
decided to get rid of it from a right click. Ah well, Gnome sucks
anyway. apt-get install fluxbox, says I.

I do remember a point where the goal of Linux was to make software
that doesn't suck. I'm not sure where that goal went but I want it
back. I think it might be alive and well in Debian.
