It appears that majority of people seem to concur on my opinion about this Ubuntu release, so at least I am not alone with my thoughts. And I didn’t even need to call Digg users “wanking walruses” to get there :)

there lots of bugs in 8.10 which i did not experience in 8.04, so basically i prefer they fix these things until 9.04 and then add the new looks! the network manager with integrated GSM/3G is a good idea but not working in my case, crashes and package management is still very betaish. i prefer canonical to fix those problems and add a new fresh look and advertise it as something new! the risk of adding many new features in a distro and a totally new look would make it prone to criticism and lots of people would turn away. make it a very, but really very stable operating system with some nice tweaks and add-ons (not bleeding edge) and then the looks! that’s success…

BTW I notice the DEFAULT real player do not have a function key for FAST FORWARDING whilst playing the movie.. resulting in you needing to complete the movie at 1 go OR: to pase the playing of movie and leave it at the background. Any solution for this?

On the flip side, the only signs of success was the DBZ files I tried. They worked well, but presented a new problem; the “language” drop down menu would probably work better if you could select the audio channel you wanted to code. There were multiple english channels on the file I wanted to mux, and the first was NOT the one I wanted. Since the 2nd was titled “Funimation English” I couldn’t select it on the language menu.

So I suggest in future versions an option that selects the audio channel rather than a zillion language options.

Thank you. :)

opensuse 11 came with kde4 but it was released after mandriva` 2008.1

please do a little research and stop telling lies
