Ubuntu Brainstorm: Vote on the Ubuntu features you'd like to see

Ubuntu Brainstorm
What's wrong with Ubuntu? No, that's not a rhetorical question. The developers behind the popular open-source Linux distribution are soliciting feedback using a Digg-like forum called Ubuntu Brainstorm. Anyone can submit an idea, and other users can vote a story up or down. The top suggestions are then showed on the front page of the site, bringing them more attention.

The concept is based on Dell's IdeaStorm web site, which the computer maker uses to solicit ideas. Right now, some of the top suggestions for Ubuntu are:
  • A better interface for managing network connections
  • Use less power
  • Combine the Preferences and Administration menus and condense some of the submenus
  • Let users know which application is using a volume that cannot be unmounted because it's in use
  • A prettier bootloader
  • Quicker boot speed
And the list goes on. What would you fix in Ubuntu if you had the chance?
