Bug Description

More then a year ago I knew that the operating system that will run on my new computer will NOT be of Microsoft,
After reading in some Linux forums, I decided to try ubuntu 8.04 . it was PERFECT - I installed it & couldn't be happier: no errors of any kind, I saved my work ONLY as I finish & above all: installed the system only ONCE.

8.10 had a problem booting: can be solved with acpi=off.
9.04 was released with the .dep bug (prevent booting).
Now, the beta versions of 9.10 expect ME, a non (official) programmer, to fix the mistakes! If I need to tell you “on bug send auto message to programmer” then I don't need to tell you.
I want to USE my computer: boot + work. Whay is too complicated for you to do? What changed since 8.04? did you insert microsoft (ex-)workers into the Canonical company?

How is it possible that 8.04 was perfect, & as time pass Canonical becomes more & more “Microsoft like”? Please tell me: when will I see the Canonical version for the blue screen, kernel32 gray message and above all: reinstalling the system over & over again??

Don't tell me “beta”! you already RELEASED TWO bugged versions. Do you really belive in: “pepole will use microsoft or won't use computers”?

The bug tracker is for reporting specific individual problems using individual bug reports. I'm sorry that your experience has not been great, but the bug tracker is not for posting rants like this.

Also please bare in mind that Ubuntu 9.10 has not even had a beta release yet (it's only at the first alpha). You say this on your rant: "Now, the beta versions of 9.10 expect ME, a non (official) programmer, to fix the mistakes! ". Well, I'm afraid that at this stage in the development cycle there will be bugs and some things may not work properly, or at all. If you're not prepared to deal with these issues, help fix them or report individual bug reports then you shouldn't be running a development release. Development releases are not targetted at ordinary users.

Please feel free to use the bug tracker to report specific problems you're experiencing.
