I have to agree, in another thread I stated my feelings and finally got quake4-smp running right. I had to use the Ubuntu's packages, if I tried to use Nvidia's I got all sorts of problems. I really don't want to move this machine over to Debian as most things work, and I don't have the time right now. I still don't like the one user idea, especially coming from Debian, I am still having problems with time setup, and certain passwords as I have a proper multiuser setup. For instance in order to update the system I can't use adept or what ever the gui is, I use aptitude and have to log in as root first. If I do use the gui, my password for root does not work, this goes for updating the panel's as well. It could all be my fault as I need to adjust sudo passwords or something like that. Also reading the blogs about Debian developers, and Ubuntu seems to make me more irate at Ubuntu for not being a good neighbor. I know it goes both ways, but if you can't even make a closed source package like Nvidia work out of the box, wtihout Ubuntu packages then something is not right.
