For a Linux Distro that has earned a reputation as being the distro of choice for the less technically minded, the issues with Karmic Koala are shocking (shocking!).  Hopefully the cuddly critter will get it’s act together quickly and scrape this rather healthy helping of egg of its face soon.  In the meantime…. stick with Jaunty Jackalope.
