I think it is a bit ridiculous that we are all gathering in this forum about something so core to an operating system that it is approaching shameful that it is not there. No operating system should be packaged without a workable network browser integral to its file management system. That is the problem with Xubuntu, which is, in all other respects, an excellent system for lightweight older machines.

Fuse and SMB worked back in 8.04 (if not quite elegantly or seamlessly). I have pinned the libsmbclient from 8.04 in my package manager but that is the only way I have gotten the whole thing to work for me in 8.10. The Gigolo thing in 9.04 simply is a failure.

Why can't someone from Canonical or other linux high-level pros write an update for Thunar with network browsing and file sharing that really WORKS?? This is a real sticking point which will drive us back to M$.
