Yes, we have no bananas but what the heck is that thing that happens
every 30 reboots? What is it doing? What is it called. I guess it is
some sort of make sure the file system is intact thingy but really
from a users perspective it is not much different that defragging that
you are all putting down so much and takes almost as long as it used
to on my XP machine (granted I had a HD that was much much smaller
back then). Still, even though what it is doing is not the same the
end result is. It wastes my time when I really just want to boot up
and use the computer. I trust the devs that it is needed but it is
still just like defragging from a time standpoint.

PS don't give newbies such a hard time. Ubuntu is supposed to be nice
and this list is part of that. Being mean will just make people wish
they were back on MS.
