I was not too impressed...
I tried this beta as the first ubuntu ever.
Nice graphics during boot.
Downloaded firmware for my dvb-t tv card automatically from the net(Was impressed here)
but was then not able to play mpeg files as distributed via dvb-t.
No obvious solution. Extra codecs were greyed out in the adept installer (amd64 error?)
No manual gave any hints how to solve this
Knetworkmanager was unable to start the wireless lan with my rt2500 pci wlan card. Debugging was difficult, as no error messages at all were shown and the program simply hung for minutes upon each attempt.
At this point I decided to install the latest sidux, which was much more advanced user friendly. For anyone with linux experience I strongly recommend sidux above kubuntu, if you like KDE and have an amd64 machine.
