I am well about average technical user, both hardware and software. You are loosing alot of potential users (EeePC based and others!) because the "Eeexubuntu" distro I torrented not only contains the "bugged" Ubiquity installer but few forums (none?), even mention the problem. I am (cough) Windows trained and have dabbled in Linux always hoping to find reasons to get excited about the os but I had less trouble installing OS X on the EeePC than Xubuntu. Kubuntu installed without issue (must have had updated Ubiquity) but I wanted Xubuntu (more appropriate for EeePC hardware) and did not want to try to modify the Kubuntu install (too high a learning curve for a newbie to Linux). I tried to "download" another eeexubuntu: 4 servers started out fine then died out at 1.2% and I donot have the patience to torrent another at 70kb/sec. I guess what the forums call installation issues includes this "resolution" problem. Bottom line, I started to get excited about the Xanthros distro that came with the toy, decided I needed more and found Ubuntu. Looks great but the Xubuntu bug has soured my palate. Get the info out to the forums and producers of the Eeexubuntu distros.
