= Mission =
'''The primary mission for a desktop OS is to be user-friendly and for newbie users console is NOT user-friendly, also for write very simple commands or editing configuration files. Past editions were criticized because sometimes there is a method to not use the console, but of course it was a way to not understand the REAL goal that is: NO console and NO extra configuration via config files, only and only UI for everythings. So I changed the title to make more clear!'''

'''It will be fantastic to see a distribution one day that will can do all these stuff via GUI and without configuring manually a file. Well I have to say that a LOT was done in Feisty and Gutsy to remove manual configurations, but still something is here, and something new I discovered, yes regressions!'''

=== Install two or more debian packages with dependencies (like Google Earth that has a data package and another that depends on data one) ===

this is one of the worst: it worked in Edgy, they broke in Feisty (fixed but the fix was only present in some alpha version of 7.10) [[http://launchpad.net/bugs/108870|#108870]] and they broke AGAIN in Gutsy with GDebi [[http://launchpad.net/bugs/134331|#134331]]

 * to install for example two or more files with dependencies you need a '' '''sudo dpkg -i <filenames>''' ''
 * to install a lot of files and don't want to open one window per file you need a '' '''sudo dpkg -i <filenames>''' ''
