Everyone knows this Vaughan-Nichols person as the great creator of FUD. Those 
who can do, do. Those who can't do, write FUD :)

God you gotta love hanging out in what is arguably the most famous 
distribution ever. People who don't use it, hate it. Why? I think we all know 
the answer to that one.

/me gets off the FUD train - next stop Linux Watch.fud!
