Ubuntu seems to have adopted a new strategy for subverting Windows: changing the GRUB bootloader default from Windows to its own memory test. That is exactly what happened after the beta version of Ubuntu 7.10, a.k.a. "Gutsy Gibbon", upgraded itself on my secondary system, seemingly to the general-release version. Now I have to find out what text file includes bootloader directives again then manually edit that text file again. In October, 2007. 2007 CE.
Between this bootloader mischief and the fact that activating desktop effects under Ubuntu 7.10 on that same system results in all of my title bars disappearing, Ubuntu seems to be moving both forward and backward at the same time.
