    Re: What more do you want in ubuntu?

    The only thing I want from Ubuntu is an option to use it as a rolling release distro. Like, have an option (enabled by default) that says to keep the repos frozen, like the are now, and another option that allows you to always have the latest and greatest software.

    I want less in ubuntu not more.

    Although the following would be nice

    • pacman
    • Rolling release
    • More bleeding edge

    This, plus the ability to uninstall anything I choose to without completely breaking the system.

    Metapackages is one of the main reasons I left Ubuntu. Package groups should be used instead.

    Yeah, what the earlier posters said, have a bleeding-edge option, and make it easier to downgrade/remove stuff without breaking everything.

    Also an optional really minimal install CD (and I don't mean the server edition) that only installs the very basics needed for a proper working environment, without X and a thousand useless services, so we can work our way up from there.

    For the mainstream release, perhaps a graphical frontend for compiling software from the source code, to make people appreciate the only real universal GNU/Linux packaging system. Also work to reduce the complete and utter reliance on APT and .debs and stop the "if it's not in the repos, it doesn't exist" attitude.

    Oh wait, that was my "turn Ubuntu into Arch" list...I guess you should keep the five-click installer and the vomit-stained default theme to set them apart

    I think Ubuntu is spiffy as is, and greatly appreciate the efforts of the developers. It does exactly what it was intended for, ease of use.

    But, if I had to request something, it would be to make Ubuntu Netbook Remix work on something other than an Atom, such as a Pentium-M. I think this would be very useful for aging notebooks.

    What I'd dearly love is for the open source ATI drivers to offer decent 3D capability for 'older' cards.

    Other than that, I'm a very happy bunny...
