After using Ubuntu 10.04 a bit more yesterday and today, have come across a few gripes.
1. XMMS is not available in any repository. I've been using XMMS for years, and is an excellent music player.
2. SAMBA is not installed and enabled by default, which means attempting to print to printers shared on Windows boxes won't work.
3. There is an issue with the SAMBA version supplied (and this could just be the default configuration - haven't researched too much), in that it won't talk to Win7 boxes, and any connection made from other UNIX clients to a Windows box will fail for some bizarre and odd reason? eg. I have a Solaris 10 box, that will see and access file shares fine, and print to 2x printers hosted on my wifes Win7 based laptop. The second I start the netbook (which is running Ubuntu) all access to the Windows host from the Solaris 10 host no longer works. The Ubuntu host cannot see nor access the Win7 host, but will happily mount NFSv4 shares on the Solaris 10 host? I shutdown the Ubuntu host, and all networking starts working again. All 3 boxes are connected to a single Netgear DG834 modem/router. Starting the Ubuntu host, only effects CIFS/SMB traffic. All other traffic/protocols are uneffected.
4. The XForms library doesn't list the exact version. v1.0.93 is very new and isn't 100% backward compatible with v1.0.90. (which is what most older applications build with).
5. The default partition scheme, is a single / filesystem with no other filesystems. /home, /boot, /var and /tmp are not separated into their own filesystems.
I've been playing with Arch in a VM at work recently, and am seriously considering dumping Ubuntu for Arch (or Slackware).
