I'm with UT on that one.

I am forever trying to get programs to install to a different location than the default. Maybe I'm a rebel, but I like knowing where all my files are. And sometimes, updates try to install to the same directory that the original program takes up, causing conflicts that are a real headache to resolve. I mark those and uninstall before installing the updated program.

Same room for Ubuntu too, of course. I've become quite a convert in recent days, despite a few setbacks.

My final challenge before converting totally to Linux will be saving a hard drive with Windows on it for those few programs which insist on Windows, Wine won't do, to run. Like iTunes. But I'm going to simply take the hard drive containing Windows and transplant it to another computer which is more reliable than the current one. Then try to get Microsoft to allow it. THAT should be fun!
