Why I went back to Jaunty

Overall, Kubuntu Karmic Koala which is still beta for the next couple of weeks, seemed pretty sound and agile, but I had problems with mplayer. Mostly, I couldn't get a full screen display. I guess that's a bug, but I'm not sure who to report it to. I also noticed that there are currently no w32codecs or libdvdcss in the medibuntu repos.

So I went back to Jaunty Jackalope. Karmic definitely gives KDE4 a boost on my hardware, but I'm currently using fluxbox to run mostly KDE4 applications in what is nominally a Kubuntu install, and when I want to run KDE, I use a Slax 6.1.2 disk to run KDE 3.5.
