I have no patience to re-iterate everything i said already. Here's my comment on osnews.com:

http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=8349&limit=no#2829...

Essentially, that website has become a place for inept teenagers to play technology columnist. Please do not link to osnews.com again. You'll make everyone a service.

P.S.: The two positive votes that the story got so far on lxer.com are probably from the osnews.com crowd. :-( To each their own, i guess.

When I first read your comment (not having read the article) I thought "oh my, how harsh". Then I read the article. :) I have to agree on the clueless part. I also notice complaints about Gnome Menu editing being broken. It's actually not broken, it's just turned off and has been since Red Hat 9 (maybe even RH8, forget). I actually did a tip way back when on how to turn menu editing back on if you are so brave:

I agree with florin here, OSNews is the National Enquirer of tech news. They'll let anyone with a computer write a review on anything, and then all the trolls will come in and make assinine comments about it for days. I actually hit "I liked it" for this story by mistake. I meant to say that to the screenshots of FC3 story... guess I should change it. :P

Sounds like osnews.com headlines on LXer are going to have to end.
