Comment Canonical face stab (Score 0) 729

Canonical has single handedly stabbed themselves in the face.

1) Unity wasn't ready
2) Unity really sucks and is the *DEFAULT* window manager
3) The Ubuntu 11.04 install cd doesn't even boot on half of my hardware anymore. (hardware it worked with from 7.x - 10.10, #ubuntu says the 2D fallback at install doesn't work half of the time)


In all honesty, I was the biggest of Ubuntu fan-boys... I even grudgingly accepted the left hand window buttons in 10 as they could be tweaked. But this is just too much. While Gnome 3 is also going through growing pains, IT'S UI AT LEAST MAKES SENSE AND IS STABLE! Personally I think as a community, the disheartened users need to return to Debian or move to Mint. Debian 6 squeeze has gotten a lot better and it's package selection wider thanks to the Ubuntu focus and fame.

I had it for quite a few months on my home pipe.. it was *bad*. It was reliable (only went down completely a few times). The speeds would be around 3-6 Mbit down. As soon as you actually use your pipe (xfer more then 8GB) they would knock you down to 0.25 down (which is unusable) Clear might be ok for mobile-only use... but who wants to spend $45 a month for just mobile 4G access? It's too bad Clear's backend sucks so much... WiMAX is awesome technology,

ehh. people are dumb. Everyone at work doesn't give a shit about IPv6... or learning it. It's ok.. knowing v6 well will make getting an IT job *much* easier when the regional auths run out of v4 addresses :) It's odd more soho routers don't support IPv6.. I moved to a mini-itx OpenBSD router to distribute my Hurricane Electric /64 at home. Anyway! Good luck to all. The internet is almost *officially* full. Lets just hope ISP's don't get lazy and start NAT'ing their customers.

This is because of routers (mostly soho) offering IPV6 link addresses, but not actually routing IPv6 traffic. This needs to happen to ensure ISP's are fixing broken router configurations to allow major internet servers to start offering AAAA records.
