Ubuntu is really helping Linux

I have been reading the core-utils mailing list for some time now and once in a while someone posts something that has nothing to do with core-utils. I don't know how they come to this specific list but they do. But this one just made me laugh out loud:

I am new to Linux. 20 day ago I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and enjoyed it. 3 days ago I downloaded the recommended updates (120 Mega), after that I also installed Wine, a version found on a magazine I think it was 1.01 or similar).
Now when I start ubuntu, after the request of inserting name and password I receive the following message:
"user's $Home/.dmrc file being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $Home directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users".

When I press OK, after a few seconds a second message appears:
"The Gnome session manager was unable to lock the file '/home/oreste/.Iceauthority! Please report this as a gnome bug"

And after that everything goes back to the request of name and password. I tried different sessions but with no result. Of course I do not know how to use the line commands.
Please Help

I love quite a few things with this mail. But clearly the best are

• Of course I do not know how to use the line commands
• Please report this as a gnome bug
• Please Help

Who helped me when I got into these problems when I started Linux. I started learning the command line. There was no other way. I really don't like how these Windows users are changing to Linux to be different and then don't want to put in the work to learn it. I also don't like these people from Ubuntu acting like Linux is Windows. It's not. If you want to be different from the Linux crowd buy a Mac. And wait 24 hours for your home dir to be deleted.
