I agree completely. Installing Ubuntu server or desktop on Virtualbox/Windows was a 2-day nightmare the first time I did it (3 months ago), and reminds me of why I moved to Macs. Clearly this configuration is not being tested. If I can't in

I wouldn't go so far as to say it sucks. It's rough, or spartan, but in a good (fastmail.fm) way. And fast. Lastpass on Chrome is the only password manager I've been able to live with, and I've tried a few.
