I get suckered by that line everytime!

I remember UBUNTU was the latest round I got suckered into. “Trust us...it’s ready for primetime”.

So I jump in and after various tries and what not I finally get it installed. Now it’s time to do something useful with it (like sniff the wireless traffic). Uh Oh, my build of Ubuntu doesn’t have the package ready to go and my driver needs to be tweaked. Dang I just wasted 2 days.

Why? Because you can't type two commands into a terminal? Or open the software manager?

Given those, I agree-I don't like Ubuntu either. It makes things more difficult than they need to be.

I have no problem sniffing wireless traffic with Wireshark under the latest Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. Didn't take 2 days to get it done either.
