(^_^)I doubt it - probably just an oversight of sorts. A lot of this is personal 
(^_^)taste and what one is used to, but the fact is that a great deal can be 
(^_^)achieved very quickly from the command line that can take a great deal of 
(^_^)searching out and replicating in a point-and-click environment. I'm a rank 
(^_^)amateur, not a professional, but I have still found that a few minutes 
(^_^)looking at shell commands can save hours of messing about in graphical file 
(^_^)managers etc. If I was denied the use of Linux or other Unices, and had to 
(^_^)buy a commercial OS I would most certainly take Mac OS-X over any of the 
(^_^)Redmond products, though much of the Mac's advantage comes from the fact that 
(^_^)it is firmly based on BSD Unix underneath the graphical hood.
(^_^)
(^_^)Good luck figuring it all out. Personally I found that the time spent learning 
(^_^)what I needed to know to get all the things I wanted to do under Linux was 
(^_^)time enormously well spent, but we're all different ...
(^_^)Best
(^_^)Fergus

What is strange though is when it was Mandrake, it didn't have these
problems.  I would love to get back into a Mac actually. :-)

Thanks!
