I love Ubuntu and don't want anything else, but our support for the Mono platform is not that great. Packages are old, and it's a real pain to build from source and then hope that it won't break existing Mono apps.
How about cooperating with the Mono project and hooking up to their builds done using openSUSE Build Service (https://build.opensuse.org/)?

I have read a lot of posts stating so many bugs in hardy and it will still be released. It is also slower to boot. THIS ISN'T HOW IT SHOULD BE!!!

Shouldn't LTS releases focus on bug fixing and stability and reliability, then speed, then other stuff?

We might have to delay hardy a couple of months if it is really this bad. I don't want a messed up computing system!

Ubuntu 8.04 will ship with the old Mono version 1.2.6. But there is already the new stable version 1.9. So why include an old one?

Every copy of Ubuntu should have GCC and the C Standard libraries available by default. You should not need to download them in order to write and compile C programs.

Electric Sheep is a psychedelic, open source screen saver that updates quite frequently.

I'm NOT saying that it would be the default, but I feel it should be included.

Ask for installing restricted drivers (like nvidia or ati) at install time

I used Kubuntu for a few months and I liked much an application named "Katapult", a quick application launcher by pressing Alt+space and typing the name of the application. I found GNOME Do, a similar application that works very well.
Katapult is included by default in Kubuntu, why don't we do it with GNOME Do?

An checkbutton in ubiquity(the ubuntu installer on the live cd) to install the restricted drivers by default.

Totem is a good player, but vlc is much better. Please put the best software as default in ubuntu, because the problems of new users , coming from windows, will decrease a lot with vlc, that recognise more codecs than totem.
