Provide a simple graphical interface to manage _any_ type of network connection  
Ubuntu

At the moment it's possible to manage traditional wired and WiFi connections using Network Manager. To connect via a modem, a 3G/GPRS card, over bluetooth to a cell phone or via USB to another device requires that the user installs extra packages, and does a fair amount of configuration that isn't found in Network Manager.

A single unified tool should be provided which allows the user to connect to a network (or internet) via any supported method. It would also be useful to provide an extension to this tool to manage firewall rules and network connection sharing.

Brainstorm; Remove  
Written by tienm the 12 Mar 08 at 12:55. Category: Brainstorm. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Removing older, lower than 0 voted ideas after a while will help to keeping the database clean AND to re-submit the idea. Over time people could think differently.

Remove 'Install/remove software' from the menu;use synaptic as only standard  
Written by tienm the 7 Aug 08 at 20:26. Category: System. Related to: Add/Remove program dialog. New
The standard menu shows the option to add/remove software. This Gnome tool is 'quite' similar to synaptics. It confuses endusers which program to use for adding/removing software.

Add all available printerdrivers by default  
Written by tienm the 23 May 08 at 18:09. Category: Installation. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Not all printerdrivers are available in the default setup, like a lot of the Brother printerdrivers. They are available through synaptic. Adding them to the default Ubuntu setup it will become more easy using Ubuntu for those not having to search for their drivers.

Be able to drag images from firefox into applications  
Written by rouge568 the 24 Apr 08 at 02:56. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I would like to be able to see a nice image on the internet and drag it into an application without having to copy-paste or save it first. I cannot do this on Open Office, Picasa, Mnemosyne, or Inkscape (linked images do not work on GIMP). The little polishes like this are what make Ubuntu such a good distro, and we need to fix them up.
