"This article will briefly discuss the new features found within Gutsy Gibbon and hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect when the final version of Gutsy Gibbons is released in October. Some of the more notable new features are a Graphical Configuration tool for X, improvements in plug-in handling for Mozilla Firefox, revamped printing system with PDF printing by default, fast user switching, new desktop search (Tracker) application and the new AppArmor security framework."

Congrats for missing just about all my points.
Did i now. You wanted ubuntu to use KDE because you think would be better. I think (theoretically) that ROX or Windowmaker would be "better".
And thank you for trying to portray me as a self centered a**hole.
You're welcome.
I do, however, have every right to express them.
I do however also have the right to disagree with you and think you're being selfish.

So what? Its not up to you to decide what Canonical (and Mark) should spend their money on or how to distribute resources.
I'm not trying to decide anything for them. That would be stupid and it's not even possible. All I can do is to make suggestions. There *shouldn't be* anything wrong with that.
Btw, I want a ROX-ified Ubuntu and WindowMaker Ubuntu and naturally it should just happen because, uh, *I* say so.
You already have the choice; pick another distro.
Ubuntu want to focus on GNOME, if that bugs you use something else. PCLinuxOS is a KDE distro, that's just wrong. *I* want them to focus on GNOME,X FCE, DE-of-the-week too. What? They don't want to? Who cares what they want, it's all about what *I* want.
Congrats for missing just about all my points. And thank you for trying to portray me as a self centered a**hole.
If you would read my comments again and actually *think* what I said you *should* see that it's never been about what I want *for me*.
Let me explain. I see Ubuntu's role mainly as a distro which has the best possibilities to increase the popularity of Linux, which I'd like to personally see of course.
It is the nice and friendly distro for newbies with great appealing philosophy. It has the hype and the momentum. It has the nice *localized docs* that just about none of the other distros don't have (so the other distros just aren't often the option here).
So, the ultimate point of my suggestions has always been to make Ubuntu even better so that it could lure even more users to Linux.
NOW, whether these suggestions have been good or bad is another matter. I do, however, have every right to express them.
I don't *personally* need any change in Ubuntu. I'm already a committed Linux user. I can live with english docs and use just about any distro out there.
Let me put it in other words once again: I never needed Ubuntu to be something better/different for me *to use* but something that would make it better for me to *advocate" Linux and Free Software (in general and not just Ubuntu) with.
