Perhaps it's my imagination, but ewvery time I'm more sure about this:

Every Ubuntu next-version is slowly that the precessor.

My PC is a:

AMD X2 5600
2Gb de RAM DDRII 667
160Gb SATAII Hard Drive 7200RPMS
MotherBoard is a Asus (don't remember the model, but it has 1 year max.)

Nvidia Geforce 8500GT

The systems boots up extremely low (like XP in a Sempron 2200) and compiz goes perfect but the flash movies on firefox are extremely slow.

I think Ubuntu is one of the best operating systems but performance is important. We are always telling how Vista is or XP but I think we have to look inside us and speaks about the performance.

Perhaps it's only to me, with my hardware... but XP or VISTA flyes on the same machine.


I hope my english was enough good to explain what I want to say.

Thanks a lot.

P.D.= I saw another posts speaking about performance at boot but I think the problem is the whole system (for me, of course).

I don't use Evolution and like the majority of people (especially 'normal' users) have no use for it at all. Yet it comes installed by default and even has one of only a few icons on the taskbar. I tried to uninstall it with 'aptitude uninstall evolutin' or something similar and it would have uninstalled loads of other stuff as well (if I remember right).

Either remove it completely from a default install (i.e. allow people who want it to add it on add/remove software) or make it easier to remove.

Hi, it would be interesting if a plugin is developed to share our music rates with other Rhythmbox users and put an average in a new column, called for exemple "General rating".

I'll also post it in the Gnome Bugzila.

First of all: What is the difference between Preferences and Administration? For example: why do I see 'Encryption and Keyrings' in Preferences and 'Keyring Manager' in Administration? What is the difference between 'Default Printer' and 'Printing'? Why do I have to disable the Tracker under Sessions and not under Search and Indexing? And why are these menu's so large? I have 24 items in Preferences (they don't even fit on my screen!) and 18 items in Administration. To put all this stuff in a popup menu is bad interface design imho. Besides, the number of option should be much smaller. A few suggestions:

- Merge 'Screensaver', 'Screen Resolution' and 'Screens and Graphics'.
- Merge 'Network', 'Network Proxy' and 'Network Tools'.
- Merge 'Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, Software Sources'.
- Merge 'Encryption and Keyrings', 'Authorizations', 'Keyring Manager'.


Below are all settings I can visit via the System menu. This is just way too much.

Encryption and Keyrings

Wikipedia is a great reference. However, when travelling it's not always possible to have Internet connectivity.

Therefore, It would be nice to have Wikipedia for Schools packaged for local installation.

http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/charity-news/wikipedia-for-schools.htm

It would be possible to just package the HTML.

However, it would probably be better to convert it to the GNOME-Help format, so the database can be searched properly.

I mainly see this with Eclipse, but it also happens with OpenOffice. What happens is this: I'm in workspace A looking at my email. I decide to start Eclipse in workspace B. The Eclipse splash screen appears and I flip back to workspace A again, because eclipse takes a while to start. After a while the eclipse main window comes up on top of my email program, in workspace A. Then I have to drag it over to workspace B, where I wanted it to appear. I would prefer that it come up in the workspade where I started it.

OpenOffice has a similar result, but GIMP will actually pull you over to workspace B when it comes up. That's kind of cool, but behavior is inconsistent between GIMP and OpenOffice or Eclipse.
