I have Debian installed on one machine, Gentoo on another.
I have several instances of Linux actually, but the family
PC runs XP.

After I posted my response yesterday, I did a google and
was able to find a solution to that annoyance. But I still
maintain it is a useless/stupid default, if not a useless
feature altogether. IMHO it should never have been the
default.
