Scott I humbly appologise that you saw any of my post as aggressive in any way. I had a mild opinion, that in no way reflects on the huge amount of work that you have and do put into LTSP, or any critique of you or of your opinion. What I was observing was that the ubuntu folk, gnome folk do is dumb down the interface in a way that makes it hard to recover. If I don't want to doit-that-way the recovery is hidden and cloaked in mystique.
