    That's something nice about Ubuntu, a predictable release schedule.

    Yeah, unlike Gentoo.

    It worked better for me in Hardy than Gutsy. I think there are always certain cases where stuff gets broken, which is unfortunate. It's happened to me before on occasion, and it's rather frustrating. You should report that to the developers, they would be very happy to hear about any problems you are having.
