Comment 32 for bug 519583

Someone take this feature out back and kill it. I wanted to try the netbook remix because the standard configuration has too much bloat for my laptop. The "fix" that is proposed gives me back the same bloated system with a slightly different user interface. What I need is a linux distro that doesn't bring my laptop to it's knees when I try to do anything more than surf the web (you know, something more like ubuntu used to be). Call me old fashioned, but I remember when linux was about giving users control of their machines not locking it down. An acceptable fix would be to follow francescomm's suggestion and allow manual editing of the panel so that users could decide if they want the indicator applet (I don't) or the system monitor applet (I do). Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Maybe I'll go back to Debian or try Kbuntu or something else. Ubuntu may have misfired with the 10.4 upgrade (for my needs) but that's the great thing about linux, there are plenty of distros to choose from and one of them is probably right for me :)
