What you and the other whiners on this thread have fogotten is that you lot
are part of "those who should have been looking for them".  This project relies
on community support and testing, and if you don't help with the testing on
your particular setup, which is probably different from many other people's,
you're going to end up with things not working for you.

If your need is for the kind of distribution where you can just be a consumer,
may I suggest that you have a look over there in the corner at RHEL, where you
can pay (in money) for the privilege.  Make no mistake, whatever you do, you will
pay - either in money for a commercial distribution, or in the time and effort of
testing and helping provide new packages, or in the inconvenience and irritation
of finding out that your configuration doesn't work.

Pick your poison - just don't complain if you haven't put in the effort to make
sure things work for you.

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
