Wait. things that make me unhappy with Ubuntu: (9.04)

My DVD drive stopped reading disks, any DVD/CD, anything at all.

After 3 days of running it can not make a connection to the outisde  
world. I have to reboot to get it to work. Other computers runing  
Ubuntu have the same problem, 3 days after they were booted, but ones  
running other operating systems don't.


The Gnome GUI only works with a few X servers, OSX's not being one of  
them. There used to be a hack to get it to work, but with the OSX  
10.5.7 upgrade that no longer works. KDE, etc work fine.

While it's nice to be GPL software only, and I can agree with not  
playing encrypted DVDs, OSX 10.5 won't work with netatalk unless the  
BSD licensed encryption routines are included in the build. So why  
include Netatalk at all? The same with SENDMAIL.
