At first I was going to say that sounds like libel but after re-reading the text I see it says *certain* new software. Well, in some cases using the terminal is still required to install software so it's quite accurate. Of course, registry modifications and the like are often required in Microsoft systems so it's not really fair to bring it up. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
