Your experience generally sums up every attempt I've made at making 
things work with any of the *buntu versions. I have spent enough time to 
get really frustrated with it and eventually go to something else.

For a short time I was concerned because Fedora was too unstable with 
systemd, ubuntu just sucks for everything beyond running from a live 
disc (and even that half the time), and openSuSE while awesome would 
suddenly crap out after a few reboots. Never really figured that one out 
and was really disappointed.

Finally with Fedora 21 things are stable again. F20 got better later in 
its life.
