I'm curious to know what the complaints are. There's no > reason for it to be any worse than other distros. The volume of complaints with Ubuntu may have more to do with it being such a common Linux distro, rather than the problems being with Ubuntu specifically. That said, I think the most common complaint was that Ubuntu makes it harder than usual to install GRUB to the boot partition (which is necessary in order to play nice with Boot Manager) instead of to the MBR. Whatever Ubuntu uses for its partitioning software has also been observed to do some very nasty things to the disk layout from OS/2's perspective. OTOH, that's always been something of a problem with Linux-based partitioning tools, at least the ones which trace their ancestry back to the old 'fdisk'. -- Alex Taylor Fukushima, Japan http://www.socis.ca/~ataylo00 Please take off hat when replying.
