[LUNI] Ever heard of SimplyMEPIS Linux?

[Samir Faci]

I honestly can't even put my finger on it.... but I really dislike
Ubuntu.... and I'm not even sure why.

I can't stand the whole sudo bit... or the no root.  I know I can do
sudo su then do a passwd and recreate root.. but half the gui apps are
tied to the first user you create.. and ignores the /etc/passwd entry
for root.

Also, I managed to destroy Ubuntu by adding 3rd party repositories..
but then I've done that to every dsitro out there except for gentoo so
far.

*shrug*  maybe i'll figure out what bugs me about it... well, my vp
for uic lug is a big Ubuntu users so I just send all the Ubuntu users
to him...
