Comment 47 for bug 577919

Trying to use Ubuntu as a Kiosk platform. 13.04 doesn't work because the video is borked on our netbooks without nomodeset, which destroys the performance. I'd use 12.04 LTS, but Firefox doesn't work as guest on any version of ubuntu because it doesn't support proxy env vars. And on the LTS version... THIS? Is there a single version of Ubuntu that doesn't have a major show-stopping bug? Particularly with the ability to browse the internet? How can this be such a "low" priority when internet browsing is pretty much the whole point of the guest account? In this day, what function of the computer is more important than the internet browser? I don't want to admit that Windows ThinPC is a better kiosk platform than Ubuntu. But right now it is the only thing we can get working, and it is easy-peasy, where-as I've wasted close to two weeks trying to build a viable Ubuntu option, seemingly a simple task, due to all of these bugs...
