Ending with:
69. It’s brown.
Somehow I'm just not very concerned with the usability angle
after spending my last 10 waking hours trying to get an
ordinary and allegedly-fully-supported (by Sane) scanner
working. And before that another couple of days getting a
printer working with very poorly documented and unsupported
vendor-supplied drivers.
I'm batting .500. The printer works now.
Anyway, I've had better luck with Ubuntu than Kubuntu in the
insurmountable problem department. You can still install
KDE stuff -- I installed both Kate and KMail which are
relatively happy on the Gnome desktop.
