I've just switched to gentoo and intend to stick with it. Getting burned by
karmic had only a little bit to do with it.
Not a slight against ubuntu, but dealing with gentoo has been a real eye
opener to what the ubuntu devs probably go through, and I haven't even
started tweaking or bugfixing yet

In fact, the Ubuntu installer used to use an embedded GParted editing box. I
much preferred that to the current setup.

I'm not sure if I like this proposal -- I believe splitting things up into
small steps makes it easier on the user. For one thing, the first questions
we ask are the language and the keyboard layout, which are essential to the
user's understanding of the rest of the installer. Many users won't set
At the risk of inciting a "riot of epic proportions", I would like to
propose an alternate hypothesis:
Ubuntu <> Linux.
I think it might be worthwhile to consider and to market Ubuntu for what
it is, a community-developed collection of free software (kernel,
toolchain, GNU utilities, applications
One of my pet peeves with the installer is how long it takes to detect the

My suggestion is that GParted be used to handle this. In fact I often use
that to do the partitioning BEFORE I do the installer because I don't want

I agree with Daniel that combining all the screens goes to far, but I sort

I think the issue is that you need to have the user enter the password
anyway, for the users sake. The user needs to know and remember the
password, which is why the installer asks twice already.
The original idea was to use the windows password so the user doesn't
need to be asked during install

Quite. "C
I'm picturing a single dialog with an overview of the current values and

current value as the button text so the user only has to click the value to
change it.

Hello list,
looking for an answer why sharing files between users on the same system
is so hard, I have stumbled accross wiki enties and blog posts about how
(im)possible it is to collaborate for users on ubuntu systems.
The possibility of sharing access to files amoung users is a fundamental

Hi list
I was looking at the merge of directfb [1] and I have a simple doubt
Debian has made their package compatible with dh 7 [2] in which case
is the dh_installchangelogs option necessary? or will dh 7 pick it up
through dh_auto_install/dh_install
Hi there,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/426813
this bug is set to fixed in karmic, maybe it is. But the LTS Hardy just
uses the old buggy package, could there be a patch for this system too?

Well we've certainly seen a few problems with Karmic. I have reports
from new or upgrading users of crashing applications etc.
So here is what I see as the major problem.
Ubuntu has had such good success that to many people, Ubuntu and Linux
are one and the same thing. Ubuntu = Linux and Linux
