Well, my main gripe with 8.2 is that the install takes so long[1] , and there are a few annoying ``press OK to continue'' buttons, that just sit there doing nothing untill I hit OK
Things are so relative! :-) I remember this ISC Unix I bought, many years ago, and which costed me in the order of the thousand bucks, and many long frustrations for almost intractable system problems. It took me about six months to configure and install it so it was almost comfortable, with vastly superior GNU tools and some reasonable ability to work in French. Linux distributions bring me immensely more software, often of very high quality, at a dramatically low price, all considered. The initial startup is usually a few hours, or even less, often absolutely painless, and the overall configuration time is only a few days for most cases. So, when an occasional difficult pops up, it would not even come to my mind to complain, for other reasons than contributing a report about improve a bit, for the benefit of others and our community, over something which already is excellent. I'm surely staying happy in any case! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
