Can’t even find the bug in launchpad anymore, it’s been open for ages, but maybe someone silently closed it even though there was lots of subscribers. Sad, sad.

Hardy beta definitely improves the m1330, wireless is much more solid and it feels like the disk spins up less. Is suspend/hiberante & resume working for you? I’ve had mixed results with sound following a suspend. Alex.

It would be so good if you could send another post with the new features of Kubuntu. I know that you don’t use it, but it could be great as evidence that Ubuntu provides the same kind of support to both versions.

Javier, why would Ubuntu provide as much support for Kubuntu as it does for Ubuntu, but not for Xubuntu and Edubuntu?
