The Gigantic Ubuntu Yahoo Non Issue.

I could almost see why there was some uptightness about not putting Gimp in the default Ubuntu disk image. I’ll concede thateven though I’m bored of the issue, I’m still not fully sure that Mono based apps are a good idea. Despite trying to be open minded about it, I must have missed the point in a huge way about the most recent issue on the Ubuntu community agenda.
Aparently, in an attempt to get some money in the door, Ubuntu are going to make a switch to the default browser search engine. From Lucid, the bundled Firefox browser will default to Yahoo. Popey says this can be changed to the engine of your choice with two mouse clicks.
Within moments, this seems to have caused more knicker twisting and microblog  invective than ….uggh words fail me.

Let’s be clear here…

The situation in Haiti, matters.
Human rights in China, matters.
Surpression of Democracy in Burma, matters.
The aimeless occupation of Afghanistan, matters.
The changeable default search in Ubuntu? Doesn’t matter.
