@Enbie and Milan, in my country we have a saying that it's about what we
are doing with this problem and Ubuntu, which goes something like this
"It's like pouring a bucket of water in a rainy day.". Meaning, I
already accepted Ubuntu isn't going to do anything about this, no matter
what we say, so we have to remember what open source is all about and
... choose!

For the first time in some years, the next Fedora 15 release is going to
have a shoot at my corporate desktop. Ubuntu 11.04 probably wont... And
I assure you, I'm not happy with this, it's not something I will "enjoy"...

Thank you for your support.

Helder
