Anyway, to get straight to the chase...
One issue that's been a thorn in my side is dealing with file perms while

Well I won't be quite so angsty about it but I will share my two cents.
When I saw the plain white logo at the bottom when I upgraded in place to
karmic beta, I was very surprised.
Actually, surprised is mild. I honestly thought that the lame artwork was a
bug of some sort. Considering NVIDIA's

Just curious here.
Apart from the obvious cases of failure to boot the CD and legal issues,
what are some examples of what would be considered a "showstopper" level bug
that would suspend/defer a release?

What are the chances of an update being pushed out for this later?
I realize that there's a tight schedule and all but a post-release update
would seem to be a nice compromise.
The shipping company has already processed and received my shipit order
though so it appears the barn door's been locked

There seems to be a general consensus that, overall, the ubuntu team as a
whole bungled this release. Whether that's true or not I reserve judgement
on until my CD arri
Seeing as the horse is already out of the barn, I don't think there's
anything more we can do except hope for updates.
Meantime, I think focusing on getting an early polishing to Lucid as a
preventative measure would be a good idea.

Most of my important work is done on command line, and personally, I like
nothing better than a snappy full-screen VT.
Typical uses:

* Kernel development

With regards to cracking tools being bad, I imagine they do come in handy
during security audits.
If there's going to be hacking tools out there anyway, the good guys may as
well have them too, since you can't really take them away from the bad guys.

One of my pet peeves with the installer is how long it takes to detect the
partitioning...and redetect it every...single...operation...so...slowly.
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'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
For what it's worth, my vote is that gparted should be included as part of
the installer. Everything else though seems fine.

Indeed this list lately has been buzzing somewhat with grumpy messages
regarding Karmic's bellyflop.
I must admit that some of mine could have been a bit less condescending than
they were.

Just observing that ubuntu itself is a downstream of debian's unstable
branch.
So in a way we already are on the "cutting edge" as it were, so it would
seem.

Having been grazing with the gentoo herd (admittedly out of frustration with

Now, assuming t

Just curious, would adding a "support ticket" system of some sort help?
Not sure about the nitty gritties of how they work under the hood but it's a
common support feature I've observed in other systems both amateur and
professional.

I would just like to throw my two cents in and express my own disapproval of
PulseAudio.
It's clunky and hard to configure, and personally I think it rather tries to
do too much at once, and by so doing is latent.

Also, I question the wisdom of having audio specific bluetooth support.
My hunches tell me that a proper bluetooth support layer would be better.
