Comment Gutsy: not for n00bs - yet. (Score 1) 806
I'm uber keen to move to linux, and so I tried both flavours of gutsy (32 and 64).
Being a *nix n00b, I found quite a few unacceptable hurdles imo.
* The installer hangs when 'updating sources'. wtf?
* No soundblaster x-fi support.
* Flash plugin 'quirks' .. both adobe and gnash, 32 and 64 had some kind of compatibility problems.
* ATI video card support lacking.
Long story short, Vista still pwns for hardware/software support and simple out-of-the-box ease of use.
Let's put it another way - if you have to open a shell/compiler - Gutsy isn't even close to Vista.
