You are dinking with beta, or it's at some development version prior to
a "final release" of a known-to-be "bleeding edge" Linux distribution,
and are then wondering why there's problems. Wait a few weeks for the
bleeding edge "release" and use it - that's the best advise I can offer
for your current interests.

However, if you want a stable version, get what Ubuntu is a spin off of,
get the real thing, get Debian Linux.

But as I stated, I also am having similar problems with Gutsy, which
is the current stable version.

I tried Debian for a while and I did like it but I got discouraged
when it was impossible to get my printer to run with it. And I don't
remember but there was a couple other things that just made it to
tough for me. Then I heard about Ubuntu and tried it out. I like it
enough to persevere for a while. Maybe I'll just install it without
Windows and it should be ok. But I'm not a pro with Linux yet and I
kind of hate to ditch Windows completely cause theres some things I
really nned it for.
