Hi Guys!
I'm Really interested to ubuntu's project (Open source in general)

In my opinion the graphics can be optimized..
I know there's tango and a lot of themes, icons wallpapers.. etc etc..
But.. look the osx for example.. It's really nice to see!:)
Something original and really really really nice!

Thank you for all guys!
I Believe in You! Thanks!

Hands aloft, who's still running a machine with 32-bit CPU? Make the 64-bit compile the focus, dump Gnome and make KDE rock solid.

Because sometimes things don't sound like nearly as good an idea when you've thought on it a while. :-)

Sometimes it's unconfortable when you're searching some files (for example when compiling and installing a program) and when you are "inside" the folder in the file manager, you want to compile. You need the terminal.

So, you need to reach the folder and reach that folder typing all the way to do it, and it's very tedious when the program name is too long.

I suggest that in the menu (File menu) it would appear an item called "Open Terminal in this folder" or simply "Open terminal".

If the hardware changes to much, the graphic desktop doesn't start and newbies doens't understand a lot.
So the panic starts, because of the personal files...

It would be nice to have something like "repair modus" or "save mode", sth. really easy that newbies are not afraid and can fix the problem step by step.

Maybe a Menupoint "generate ultimate start-cd" would be helpful, too.

Ubuntu ships with GIMP as preinstalled graphics program. GIMP is a really impressive tool, once you figured out how it works. But there are a lot of people out there, who only need a fraction of the things GIMP can do. There are a lot of simple image editing tasks which can be done with simple programs:

John needs some help to do certain things on Ubuntu. He takes a screenshot of a program and tries to mark his problem with a hand painted error and some text.

Mark has been on a conference trip. He want's to remember the people he met, so he pulls a group picture from his digicam and marks everyone with a name tag.

Under MS Windows MS Paint fills this gap. Don't lough, I know a lot of people who use this program quite often. It does exactly what those people want to do. Nothing more, nothing less. For linux there are some mspaint alternatives [1][2]. But they could need some makeover (in the case of gpaint) or a targeted at a different users (tuxpaint is a program for kids).

Would be really nice if Canonical make offers and proposals programs to governments of informatic education in general, on public schools, not only that, but included in that programs, along with the good Edubuntu, trained professionals to assist teachers on the informatic laboratories on the first months, and these Canonical trainers could teach and prepare some teachers and students to replace the Canonical trainers on the basic daily informatic issues. I think it would be a good thing on under development countries, and why not, super developed countries too.
And not only in base education, improve some features on Edubuntu to attend some university needs, and offer similar programs to these public universities too.
