(I am cc:ing the list so that this person does not get several multiple
replies.  Also, I am making the assumption, Stef, that you are not
running a vanilla kernel that you built yourself from the kernel sources
and that you are running the Ubuntu stock kernel.)

Please go to #ubuntu+1 on irc.freenode.net for issues with your Ubuntu
Gutsy Gibbon prerelease system.  For starters, the kernel that comes
with Ubuntu is not the vanilla Linux kernel, it has patches and added
and removed things to it---like nearly all distribution kernels.

Secondly, the Gutsy Gibbon is not yet released for public consumption.
It is in a prerelease state, and as such, if you're running it, and you
encounter issues, please file bugs with Ubuntu
(http://www.launchpad.net/), where they will be far more receptive to
such information.  However, they will not directly support you---you
chose to run a prerelease system; they'll tell you that if it breaks
your system you get to keep all the pieces.  Once the Gibbon is
released, though, you can use it with the backing of the regular Ubuntu
community and it will be supported.

That having been said, you may not want to run prerelease software that
is known to be unstable if you don't have the time (or the ability) to
troubleshoot and file a detailed bug report during the prerelease state.
 At any rate, this list is not the place to air your problems with the
Gutsy Gibbon.

	HTH,
	Mike
