it lacks more than that...
i will give this new release a try. but every iteration previous to this needs me to get out a wired mouse and keyboard as the support for my bluetooth desktop is non-existant. this is funny as i can install every version since 4 w/ it but as soon as it is installed, it ceases to function. so i get out a wired desktop, go to any of a number of sites to find a driver and documentation to make it work, do as instructed, and every time my computer goes into standby, i have to restart and re-setup the bluetooth. so it makes it very difficult to want to spend much time evaluating it if i have to have another complete system just to test a new linux release. and as neither logitech nor hp have linux drivers for their peripherals, this is further reason to skip new releases. however, now that more manufactureers are developing a linux environmment, hp included, this may change if not already, but non of my equipment is supported, the same argument everyone uses against vista and/or 64-bit versions.

@sparkkkey: Where did you obtain the driver?  ye | 03/27/09
@storm14k: Perhaps you're not understanding my objection.  ye | 03/27/09
@ye: to be able to edit xorg.conf first you have to create it  InAction Man | 03/27/09
@InAction Man: Who said anything about it already existing?  ye | 03/27/09
Wrong, xorg itself will create it for you, no cut and paste needed  InAction Man | 03/27/09
@nAction Man: Again: Where did anyone say anything about the existence...  ye | 03/27/09
I thought the non-xorg.conf started in 8.10...  storm14k | 03/27/09

When did upgrading your Operating system every 6 months  GuidingLight | 03/27/09
Updating linux every six months, is better than  xXSpeedzXx | 03/27/09
It upgrades itself over the network. No effort from the user is needed  InAction Man | 03/27/09
