Alpha (or Beta) versions are not meant for 'production' and you are not to yell that something breaks. Hopefully, you can file bug reports if you noticed something wrong that nobody else has filed reports for. (Usually, they are taken care of by people better than us)

Thanks so much for this email.  I am in one of those times right now.  I 
updated yesterday and lost my video completely.  I have been installing 
the updates without selection, because of my limited abilities.  As a 
result, while downloading I noticed something being downloaded that I 
did not want; the result is my current problem.  I use the nVidia 180.37 
drivers.  They worked perfectly in my application.  When I noticed an 
additional update, I really did not want to try to fix something that 
worked perfectly, but because I chose to install them all, it happened 
before I could stop it.  The update to the drivers screwed up my GUI.  I 
only have the shell to work with now.  Am I supposed to not ask for help 
when in Jaunty?  It too was recommended from someone from the list.  He 
said it worked stable and was far improved from Intrepid.  I noticed 
that too.  Until this glitch, it has been my best experience with 
Kubuntu from Jaunty back to Feisty.  I can't wait to get it back. 

In fact to make this email, I had to make the computer I am using out of 
scrap parts to get email.   My new computer can only be operated in 
/root.  The only reason I installed is because my new computer is a Quad 
core 64bit, and it has 8gb of memory.  Jaunty is the first to deal with 
that issue effectively.  Additionally I thought it a good step for 
learning.  The problems I would face should help me learn.  Thanks for 
the help.
