Seriously, I could forgive them for the seriously broken Network Manager ( that is "unremovable" in apt ).
I could even forgive them for upstart.
But the unholy slapd.d they have invented is quite possibly the DUMBEST thing I have ever seen before in my entire life. Their package maintainer should be fired. And sure... I know he works for free. BUT HE FUCKED UP THAT BAD. HE SHOULD BE FIRED FROM A VOLUNTEER POSITION. THAT IS HOW BAD HE HAS FUCKED UP.
And as such, Ubuntu is now on my shit list. Every release it gets worse and worse. And for no reason at all other than their developers just wandering off and falling into wood chippers.

I barely use the command line on my laptop, but there are other things about 10.04 that really suck. everything about the notification area and the social networking integration stuff sucks shit. I don't really care enough to go into it, but dealing with the stupid envelope menu (I forget what it's called) is a pain in the ass and I had to install some stupid software to get it to check my gmail and not try to use evolution every time I clicked on it.
You mean the Ubuntu people actually managed to make the debian package crap even worse? Wow.
The installer is stupid. All changes to the disk drive are applied *immediately* upon clicking. Then it will "refresh the disks" which takes 3 secs orso. I have never seen that in any OS except Windows.
The network manager is a gnome thing I believe, I also had problems with it on OpenSolaris (Which uses gnome by default).

The slapd.d thing comes from the Debian package, which ubuntu just repackages, so I don't think it's their "fault".
I actually think this idea of using a master config file in /etc/$service.conf which includes the files in /etc/$service.d/*.conf is very nice. It makes automating configuration via something like Puppet or even a custom script much easier, because now all you have to do is to create a file in that directory, instead of editing a monolithic file, which can be hard to do from a script.

Yeah except that the config is broken and as far as I can tell no one has gotten replication to work correctly.
So they shouldn't be pushing this stuff in the package. It's a "broken by default" package that's not easy to repair.
