I read the news that Intel leaved Ubuntu for Fedora in their development of Moblin 2. The biggest reason to do that was the packagemanager RPM that Intel thought was better.

Maybe even Ubuntu has a reason to change from *.deb to *.rpm?

Ruby is growing language, that has many adepts. Ubuntu should come with ruby on rails installed by default.

The Synaptic package manager is fine, but if I give a programme of ubuntu in a CD, and has units etc., there is always a problem, it would have to be double click and you are, and to remove the same, as in Windows.

I was a new user to Ubuntu just a few days ago, and as soon as I ran into trouble, I turned to the IRC channel on Freenode. It is an invaluable resource for getting help in the situations that a search engine, the Ubuntu help wiki and the forums don't cater for - particularly if you don't know exactly what it is you need to be asking and require real-time support.

For this reason, it surprises me that an IRC client isn't included in Ubuntu by default, especially considering there is a GNOME version of XChat already. It wouldn't necessarily have to be XChat, but it does seem an obvious solution. It could even be configured to connect to #ubuntu on Freenode by default. openSUSE had a similar feature for their channel, and it was such a relief to stumble upon help in that manner when I had no idea what to do back then.

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.
