Even though by now the bug is fixed, many people alerted us about the fact that updates to Xorg in Ubuntu broke X, leaving users with a command-line machine. If you happen to be one of the unhappy few, Ubuntu user tseliot provides the commands to fix your system. In the meantime, others are wondering how such a bug got past testing.

Okay, I must admit that "commitment" wasn't the wisest word to use.
Let me explain: unless you have some interest in OSes or have really nothing to do, you are probably trying an alternative OSes for a reason. Why would you bother to switch if you are happy with your current system?
Giving up an OS because it doesn't suit your needs is one thing, giving up at the first issue and whining is another. If you don't bother to persevere, then did you really wanted to change? It doesn't matter whether it's Linux, MS-Windows, BeOS, NetBSD or Plan9 : every system got its own quirks which you have to get used to.
In the case of Ubuntu, there's even a live CD which allows you to access the Internet without reinstalling an OS... Perhaps I am overestimating the audience here, but I suppose that if you can whine here, then you can search forums for your issue. It's not a question of supporting Canonical; I would hold a similar position for any other system.
Extremist? I just the best OS for my tasks... Dunno from where you got the advocacy part. If anything, I'm doing anti-troll advocacy.
Improved the quality of the post (spelling, grammar...)
