Re:Is PulseAudio still there?

Are you seriously blaming my hardware for problems with Ubuntu? Like Ubuntu is perfect, but my standard desktop hardware is just flawed? Boy I'd love to hear that from Canonical.

They were integrated card readers in an HP Desktop, for one. Windows didn't seem to have any issues understanding it. Furthermore, I'm comparing the ubuntu compositor performance on my GeForce 6200 LE to how it ran in Vista and Mac OS X. I mean, if it runs better in Vista, what is their excuse?

Ubuntu !linux.

Everyone outside of people like those here in the know have the issue of associating Ubuntu with Linux, as Microsoft is trying to associate Windoze with PC's.

There are other better, faster, more customizable distros...Ubuntu is just a stepping stone between Windoze and Linux.

Next comes Archlinux or a similar distro, followed by possibly Gentoo or Slack.

troll? Yeah, I'd be sad too if my fav operating system didn't support these basic functions :)
