These responses and comments are based on Solarsi 2.5 and 2.5.1, right? 2.6 is much improved and they are getting much better as time goes on. It's a relatively young OS and they have only really been getting serious on it in the past 2 years, so give 'em some time. Remember when Linux was a baby? :)
