Thankfully, with Ubuntu 9.10 compatibility* issues seem to have lessened, at least for us. We were on 9.SomethingPrior and had lots of problems with some of the stuff the hubby uses. He got a lot of practice conjugating "fuck" in New And Exciting Ways, based on what I heard coming out of his office across the hall. :-////

*I tried to type "complatibility", which I think ought to mean the same thing, just with additional negative connotations.
