Comment 18 for bug 95460

Trust me Fred, I am a 10-year linux user/admin. If you like to use servers (like samba) you still do not get around doing stuff in configuration files by hand and learn about it. It lies in the design of linux. But that "hassle" comes with an advantage: It's far more secure than if you just click-start a server in windows, where nobody knows, what it's doing behind the graphics...

Anyway, I'm also a little bit angry about such errors, es they always seem to happen on any new distribution release (I know fore example fedora, SuSE, Red Hat had also such evident bugs, which everyone asked, "why did they slip through testing?").
You should always wait about 3 months before applying a new distribution onto bigger networks and/or server. This bug amongst others (for example the tty bug with crapped font encoding, just press CTRL+ALT+F1 to test it) convince me once again not to upgrade my servers too quickly, even if I'm really nosy about it. Linux is NEVER out of beta (and that's o.k., as windows is too) and what works on one pc may not work on another. That's the price of freedom, platform-independence and community-driven tests. I still think it's an affordable price.
