GNOME System Monitor lacks a process property to uniformly provide in-depth information.

Organize the filebar in nautilus with headers like the new finder in leopard. It could have headers like:

-Main (Home, Documents, Pictures, etc)
-Devices (USB Drives, etc.)
-Network (Servers, etc)

This will make it much more useful

For example to send a file into an USB drive.

I think that it should be possible to connect to the repository and check if there are any updates available without having to enter a password.

The password should only be needed for installing the updates, not for checking for updates.

Whenever I try to open/save files, all hidden folders and files are shown in home directory by default.
It would be easier and less confusing to search directories if “show hidden files and folders” was disabled by default.

Alright, so we know we have the desktop and the server editions, and for what they're worth, they do a wonderful job on laptops.

However, what they do isn't necessarily enough, as many laptop users have to go out of their way to install modules to keep their laptops down, or keep their hard disks from being over conservative on power.

This is why I'm proposing a Laptop Edition for Ubuntu Linux, and to put in a conservative ballpark, I'd shoot for 8.10 at the earliest, or even 9.04.

The theory is simple: Get a version of Linux that is designed to work flawlessly with laptops, without letting it think for a fraction of a second that it is a desktop.

Key focuses for a laptop version would be:

1) Battery life
2) CPU throttling
3) Heat reduction
4) Less strain on the hard disks, where necessary
5) Wireless

The reason that I said 8.10-9.04 as a ballpark would be that it might be favorable to get another type of BIOS on that motherboard, instead of what's already specified. This way, things can click a bit smoother, such as wireless identification and various other tweaks.

Do feel free to add your own theories and comments to this, since it is something I'd like to see happen someday.

Provide this warning with possibility to solve the problem.

In the "Clock" toolbar applet that is shipped with Hardy, users can now see weather information for their location. Cool feature, but lacking in actual data. In the "Weather Report" that was previously available (and still is), you could click and see Temperature, Dew point, humidity, etc, and even look at a text format to get precipitation and high/low temperatures for the week. None of this is available in the "Clock" applet.

If this is meant to essentially *replace* the "Weather Report" applet, or even consolidate the two applets into one, please don't remove useful functionality. I'd like to start using the Locations feature from the Clock applet, but at this point, I miss having all of the other data.

Right now Add/Remove Applications should be the first place a new user looks when they want to install a program. It's a step in the right direction but could be better. Unfortunately the large number of available programs (yay for variety though!) makes it seem daunting if you don't know what you're looking for. Choice is great, but only if you know what you want to choose.

Currently, Xubuntu's menu editor can't edit system-wide menu entries. For some of us, that's the sole reason we use a menu editor. A port of GNOME's alacarte (or a new editor) would be the best solution.
