I'm sorry if my answers requires the use of a terminal. But that's just the way I'm used to do things, after all it was more or less the only way when I started out with linux. Way back in time, long before ubuntu was created. Back then slackware was the distro of choice. Since then I've been using debian, LFS and gentoo for longer periods. I've also tried countless other distros. I do this mostly for fun.

I ditched Ubuntu some years ago in favor of Debian Sid.
