Gutsy: not for n00bs - yet. (Score 1)

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.
