Hi Everyone
Let me start by saying, just like most people on this forum, I too just about decided to give up Gutsy after the first day. Too many config issue that worked with Feisty
I have been using linux for 9 years now, and almost exclusively for the last 4
My office and home laptops are both ubuntu (both amd64)
All media content that i use work fine. No issues. I will always swear by linux, no problems there
Couple of things that still are giving me some issues on Gutsy 64
1. USB hotplugging - works on my home laptop (HP zv6000nr series), but my office laptop (HP dv6000) has some issues. Works fine with some devices and not so fine with others (wireless mouse doesnt hotplug, have to reboot, but usb keyboard has no issues, similarly one ext drive works fine, but another doesnt - all work fine on the home laptop
2. Evolution alarms - I have evolution exchange, and the whole mail notification tray works brilliant. But it doesnt give any notification for calendar events. Not so much a problem as my Treo 700 lets me know anyways, but I would love to have the evolution part of it work too
Apart form that, everything from plug and play external monitors, to ndiswrapper (BCM still slow), to media codecs, browser plugins to everything else is great. In an windows environment at work, i dont miss windows at all. Infact certain things that mac users have issues at work, works fine on ubuntu. Productivity is just not an issue
Hope everyone else has their issues resolved as well
