Installed Intrepid a couple of weeks ago. Installation nice and easy, but after that things get harder.

Taking a while to get my head round the directroy structure...but getting there.
Problems getting screen resolution right. KVM switch messing that up. Shame you can't 'force' monitor setting you know work.

Some things MUST be done from Terminal. Like setting Workgroup name. Need better GUI's

Like Totem movie player, except that there are no video controls that work, or can be used whilst watching a video...that is a must.

Having trouble getting printing to work properly. (Canon IP4300). Installed the printer using Ubuntus own 'database' but colours are all wrong. Seems black is added to all colours when colour is over 50%. Why?

Learning as I go.. Love/hate at presnet!
