Hey chris, thanks for the message. and I agree to a point. I just know a lot of people that want to go on in life and like/love the linux/kubuntu/ubuntu, etc environement. But why, if it works in beta (or previous distro) doesn't it (the same config) work in the next one. Samba is important (albight slow to load). I have nothing against getting my keyboard (fingers) dirty configuring a file. But why do the same work twice only to find out it doesn't work because of some obscure distro orientated "new" thing that nobody but themselves understand. UUID didn't work in edgy and as far as I am concerned is even worse in feisty.

I just can't afford to spend my time adressing issues and waiting. I also have to eat. For that I have to work productively. That is why I changed to and love linux. But I have never so many issues within a week as I seen had with feisty. and they are naging. From sound to kongueror to samba to k3b to install, to grub. These are things that have been looked at and solved before.
Sure, I have no problems waiting 2-3months. But isn't that what the herd/beta phase is for? These kind of bugs should not "slip" through.

I have to agree with a few people above us here in this post: this is not good for a lot of people wanting to change systems. Not just to test but to use. Lets just hope the powers that be have an ear:)

If I didn't dislike gnome so much I would probably install that and be done with it. as it is I have to go back to edgy or pclinuxos 2007.

The question of freedom is not even disputable, I think we all agree on that.

Sorry, I don't want to rant and I wish i could be of real help I just have disicions to make.
