Hi Tony,

Doesn't surprise me though. Debian stable is, well, stable...
Look at the fuss over New Zealand change to daylight time transition.

It might be good to have a feature in ubuntu, where if something isnt
supported you get a little popup (like the update manager) saying that
your piece of hardware isnt supported / no drivers etc, and to maybe
link to some help or something like that. Maybe refer you to launchpad
bugs?

Hi,
Renjith Nair has described exactly my feelings on installing hardware in Linux.
I know my problems are caused by lack of experience, something shared by many
others.
Once installation issues are eased, Ubuntu will sell itself.

I believe the argument is not whether windows is easier than linux or vice
versa. That is common man's opinion about linux since he/she expects
everything to behave like windows. Everything which behaves differently
from Windows is considered to be 'difficult' because they are only used to
using w
I think we are actually agreeing. The start of this particular line of
conversation was somebody saying that Linux wasn't doing enough to make
installation of wireless cards simple and reliable... my point was that most
of the cards that I am using now appear to work pretty much "out of the box"

Hello, Sean.
Actually, I disagree - It's Debian fundamentalists who discourage SIMPLE
solutions like installing the NDIS 'wrappers' in Ubuntu because using
NDIS require
If I was to take a box that had been cobbled together with various bits and
pieces over the years and try to install Vista on it would it be reasonable
for me to say to Microsoft "I'm sorry, but you sold me this Vista... now it
doesn't work with my hardware... I hold you responsible" ???

Hi David,
You are not the only one with wireless issues on Ubuntu. I have helped
several people to get their wireless working on Ubuntu.. After several hours
of tweaking when it finally start working, they make a statement that ' it
is so easy to do this stuff in windows' . Linux users may not ne

No, that's a misconception... nobody would buy an Apple Mac and then expect

By the way, for the last year or so I have been running my laptop with a
PCMCIA wireless card (BT Voyager 1020) because the onboard wireless didn't
work.
Miraculously one day recently I clicked on the update buttons and the
onboard now does! Good old Gutsy!
BT Voyager 1020 is now merrily sitting
On the subject of Linux and wireless cards it is an unfair criticism to
make... the reason that Linux and wireless has always been such a hotbed of
discussion is because the folks that make wireless cards normally don't, by
default, make them compatible with Linux, presumably thinking "well, as lon

I like Ubuntu, I think it is the best distro and the highest quality.
I would also like to see the profile of Ubuntu raised in the market place but
feel there are some issues in Ubuntu that need addressing.
I have attended night school to learn Ubuntu basics but still cannot get my
