Actually, I use the terminal a lot, especially on my desktop system.
It's just that a GUI that takes a few clicks to get something done is
more efficient than going to a terminal and doing a bunch of typing to
do the same thing, especially when you don't have a touch-typeable
keyboard.

Um... doesn't "dist-upgrade" upgrade the OS - as in Diablo?  (I'm
familiar with that command from my desktop kubuntu system.) I'm not
ready to do that until a couple of issues in Diablo have been
addressed.

It's not the end of the world - I already knew how to work around the
issue and it doesn't prevent me from doing anything. It's just an
annoying glitch that I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing
and/or if it was going to be fixed. Apparently the answers are "yes"
and "only if you upgrade to Diablo". :-)
