Just make it looking cool at default!  
Written by hurzpfurz the 28 Feb 08 at 19:03. Global category: Look and Feel. Not an idea
Make it looking cool with an nice glasslook!
Mac OSX and Vista look nice, Ubuntu with Gnome look like sh** - i mean terrible (anno 1990!?).

It wouldt be much more accepted from the usual/0815 users ("hey i like it, it looks cool" - like people sayed about Vista)!

Graphical OS installer that actually works reliably  
Written by elanthis the 28 Feb 08 at 18:15. Global category: Installation. Implemented
The LiveCD installer is slow - horrendously slow - and unreliable. The only meaningful difference between the LiceCD installer the old graphical installer is that the LiveCD installer takes forever to boot, fails to work on a far wider range of hardware, crashes more often, and lets users get a very bad first taste of Linux.

The alternative installer is also buggy and fails too often, probably due to getting far less testing. About 50% of the systems I try to use the LiveCD installer on fail, and about 25% of the systems I try to use the alternative installer fail. These exact same systems could install older versions of Ubuntu with the old installer just fine, and can install Fedora, FreeBSD, and Windows XP just fine. The new installers Ubuntu has been using are utter crap.

Please reinstate the primary preferred install medium to be a regular graphical installer like every other sane OS uses, one that actually works reliably and without requiring 6+ minutes just to boot the CD, and relegate the LiveCD to the useless gimmick bag where it belongs.

Developer comments
In Hardy you can install without booting into the Live environment.
