Ubuntu Brainstorm Launched

Posted by kdawson on from the good-ideas-are-where-you-find-them dept.

thorwil writes "Brainstorm is a new site where everyone can submit and vote on ideas for Ubuntu. It's inspired by Dell's Ideastorm. By default, you see the ideas submitted by the community sorted by popularity. Each idea is accompanied by arrows so you can vote it up or down (you have to log in first). You can only click once per idea. So this is an easy way to submit ideas and see what people are really wanting."

    "4. Implement WPA support."

    Ubuntu does have WPA support. The only times I fail to see WPA show up in the wireless options is if my wireless card doesn't support it.

    Well, we reached slashdot, digg and wired frontpages almost at the same time so indeed the web server is having a bad time :)
    The sysadmins are working on it and we hope to have something faster (we don't say fast) soon.

    2. Don't blame ATI. You should blame to ATI, not the hardworking linux driver writers. With all the vista driver problems, people (that had a clue) were blaming ATI/nvidia for the bad support, not MS. Why should Linux be any different? And the Linux people would happily write drivers themselves if they had they specs and not being worried about getting sued by ATI.
    As a matter of fact, now that AMD bought ATI and released the specs, there has been a very rough open source driver released. But guess what - this had everything to do with AMD/ATI. It's completely and utterly their fault that support has sucked so hard so far.

    I will never buy another video card again. I find that very hard to believe.

    In any case, if AMD is true to their promises, I will only buy ATI cards that are supported by the OSS driver.

    It is planned for the LTS version in beta now, Hardy Heron. So your wish should get granted :).
