Ubuntu is like Windows
I just finished installing Edgy Beta 1 on the Thinkpad and I have to admit that there are lots of things different from my desktop. The desktop has been dist-upgraded regularly and is as up to date as the Thinkpad is, but eg. the desktop doesn't have usplash, I wonder which things are different too. Then I don't have the network manager icon in the systray anymore (I used to have it on the Thinkpad before the disk broke).
Something I have loved with Debian was that one installation could be kept fresh by just updating. Please guys, don't leave the good foundation they build by breaking things like these. I can live with this fact (though I'm a bit disappointed), but I'm not sure how this will be for the people who are new to GNU/Linux (and I have one special person in mind).
