Kubuntu and it would seem Ubuntu have made this mistake over and over
again. We now have a bunch of software that has been shoved down our
mouths that is beta or beta quality. We have Dolphine, KDE4.0, GRUB2,
PulseAudio, the networking stuff. When are they going to learn that
this distro is for newbies and for pros that want it to just work. We
are not beta testers.
