I just love how the author of that article (above) plays around with 
words :-) :


"...... Nvidia drivers will not be loaded, and you will not be able to 
fall back to a rescue session, because Ubuntu has none, since it's all

"Of course, it only magnifies the feces level of the latest Ubuntu 
release,...."; and


"Have fun, and stay away from Ubuntu 12.10 if you can."
