Comment 67 for bug 151544

This would be my last comment. I have just remove Ubuntu 7.10 from my
system.. this thing is to buggy.. The whole thing about ubuntu was to have
an out of the box working properly linux distro. 7.10 is far from this..

it was fun to see some new features, we are going the right direction..
but still not there. As the linux thing is mainly based on freedom of
choice, im free to choose other distro in the meanwhile that will do
exactly what i want.

I will check new future releases.
