First, Hoary is excellent !!! Thx for all the team.
And now some criticismes or ideas for the future, all are inspired from
a user friendly point of vue:

1 /
a right click on a picture must allow me to make this picture the background

2/
Apt applet can't be configured to update at desired time

3/
There is no localized or cpu-optimized version of hoary iso.
Tools to create own iso will be great.

4/
A right click on an iso image should offer user to mount it.

5/
no audio burn tool installed by default. Please choose one like graveman
or gnomebaker or coaster ...

6/
Somes scripts are created to simplified installation of extra-softwares
like java/dvd/mp3... Is there a possibility to install or create an
official script and put it on the desktop or menu ?

7/
No way to edit menus. May be gnome 2.12 solved that, if not you have to
install a menu editor.

8/
Evolution always need spamassassin, but it's not installed.

9/
I know that there is not such place on the cd. So what not an extra
software cd ?

10/
Could you consider to include NVU / Blender+Yafray on défault
installation, o just package NVU.

11/
At the very first launch of gnome, a wizard may pop up helping
configuration of gnome and finding help on Ubuntu  (explanation of
synaptic,ubuntuguide...)

12/
Prelink is not used or installed. Why not ?

13/
DMA is not activated on many pc. No easy interface to manage/see drives
on the pc. A right click on a drive should offer us to activate DMA
(editing /etc/hdparm.conf)

14/
No easy interface for fstab  and grub configuration

15/
No test on the boot to find hardware configuration change since last
boot. A wizard could pop up to edit fstab and partition a new disk. A
wizard could pop up to manage a new network interface.

16/
My external DD SATA on his PCMCIA card is not detected like a removeable
media. Hey it's a pcmcia card so it's removeable when i want :p

17/
may be when i want to play a mp3/divx with totem (or rhythmbox), totem
must explain me that's bad, but offer me to install "mp3/divx pluggin"

18/
evolution (default mail soft) must be pre-configured to fetch all system
messages

Thx again for this great distribution.
