That's one of my big complaints as well because I have troubles connecting to some routers running advanced security such as WPA2. In Windows I'm just prompted to enter in the security key no matter what security type the router is running, but in Ubuntu you normally have to know what security the router is using. That always irks me. <div class="commentquote"><a href="#comment-132354" rel="nofollow">Tinhed wrote:</a><blockquote>My gripe is with compiz.

Put powerful, friendly automated repair tools (especially for bootloader repairs) on the bootable disk - like Suse has. 2. More robust wireless support. It keeps getting better, but still isn't as good as Apple or PC. Error reporting dialog to the user is nearly useless. 3. Stop setting kooky video mode with LiveCD bootloader - blackscreens many 8800 cards - been a known issue for last 2 releases gah. Mine arent on the list:

It's a first and hopefully not the last, who better knows about what the users want than the users themselves. :lol: I think it’s a great idea, and I am glad that it’s being done.
