Brainstorming With Ubuntu
Right on, I say. If there's one issue that has been persistently problematic since I started using Linux in any form -- Ubuntu as well -- this has been it. To be scrupulously honest, suspend/resume has gotten better by leaps and bounds. My Sony VAIO notebook suspends and hibernates perfectly, for instance, and that's the one machine where I would want such a feature to work best. But on one of my desktop test systems, suspend/resume doesn't work properly -- and while that system does use a slightly older motherboard and chipset, isn't one of the vaunted benefits of Linux that we can use older hardware without fear? Other top Brainstorm ideas currently in the running:
Obviously not everything that gets submitted and voted on is going to get used. But so far Brainstorm seems to be serving as a fair indicator of what Ubuntu users feel they need most, and what they're willing to pipe up and ask for. It'll be interesting to come back some months down the line and see which ones have remained popular -- and which ones have actually been acted on. « Join Us Tuesday For InformationWeek Live: Report From India | Main | Report: People Not Using Advanced Mobile Services » |
