I think your coming over as a little harsh here. Sure he distro hops but he does have a valid point. If I needed a saw to cut something and the one I was using didnt work right I'd try another. Not try to modify the saw to do the job. For a lot of people a computer is a tool for others its all about the tinkering. whatever you do is upto you but please dont go scolding people openly for doing something their way.
