Ubuntu 8.04 Is Ready to Take On Windows

[michael wilson]

One thing needs to be fixed before Ubuntu takes on windows.  The ability to
totally nuke the boot process through the package manager needs to be
removed.  There is NO WAY I can make windows un-bootable through add/remove
programs.   Yet, I can remove a few packages with no warning and make ubuntu
not boot and unable to run any programs requiring a complete clean
reinstall.

I know this is a sore subject, but to convince non-teachniocal people to use
this software, users must be protected from themselves.

Fix this and there is a chance.

Sub points to this are automatic installation of printer and network drivers

Rock on

Michael
