More dysfunctional Ubuntu-isms

[Michael Butash]

So yet another chapter of ubuntu-isms begins in my life, trying to 
install on my new desktop.  Step 1 defeat, their server install won't 
even boot with a 16.04.1 server disk.  Internal cdrom or external usb 
cdrom, no usb thumbdrive.

Then tried a 16.04.1 desktop installer for kubuntu, which got into 
setup, but proceeded to just lock up indefinitely at the drive setup 
screen, twice.

This is really why I have a hate/love relation with ubuntu, it never 
fails to disappoint.  My road to 16.04 has been all upgrades so far, 
this time I'm using 16.04.1 cd's from scratch.

I really don't want to have to make a circle of distro's to end up back 
here again, but ubuntu is always so basically dysfunctional these days 
with the most basic things, it's hard to want to care.

I wonder how much others have seen this.  This is with legacy boot in 
bios, no uefi crap, and just a basic d-i based ubuntu server install, 
and/or kubuntu.
