I haven't tried with Lucid yet. And dont have time either as my current OS is Mac.
But from my experience with Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic. I've found Kermic to be of this problem a lot. I'm talking about the modem problem of course. The solution is using wvdial and with the same configuration you can use gnome-ppp (GUI frontend for wvdial), but remember sometimes gnome-ppp fails while wvdial's fail ratio is too few. Other three issues are mostly Lucid related and I haven't experienced them yet. But as for Netbeans its mainly because of the large resource it consumes. Try any other good IDE with lighter resource requirement with similar features. Especially excluding the java engine. Netbeans also gets stuck on Mac OS X too. For lighter needs: geany, gedit are good. I'd also recommend getting used to with the geekish Vim. Lots of geeks like it most, namely: ramsey, andrei, dan brown, rasmus etc. Vim can be customized to substitute any IDE at all. You just have to be habituated with some keyboard based shortcuts. It works faster and consumes least resource. Regards Lenin -- Ubuntu Bangladesh | http://ubuntu-bd.org ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
