With the newer releases of linux distributions, things have become extraordinarily user-friendly. This is the only bug I've discovered so far and it's a minor problem with an easy work-around.
Of course, to do things RIGHT, you do need to know what you are doing. I still want to be able to partition my own drives, write my own firewall scripts, and change a lot of the other configurations; and I can still do all of those things.
