I thought I said that...

<sigh/> I *am* the sysadmin. What I want is to win lotto. Then 
I won't have to work and I'll have time to create a luser-unfriendly 
linux distro where "killall" kills all processes, "halt" halts the 
system, and X is configured by reading the fscking manual and 
editing XF86Config file. Or I'd play with LFS.

At least, listen to Manoj and make that abomination an optional
package... please?
