Because I spent too long on the lottery machine yesterday...

One of the big advantages of open source is that if you don't like something you can fix it, or pay someone to fix it for you. So, if you'd won the Euro lottery (£117 million), what little "quirks" of your favourite distro or software would you pay someone to fix?

What projects would you donate to?

What distro(s) do you use?

For a long time I've used SuSe (up to its version 9.2 or so), but when they switched focus I switched to Ubuntu. So I don't use purist versions or avoid non-free drivers or anything like that, and yet it almost always takes fiddling. Like the laptop I had before my current one, I never got power management to work, and it really sucks to have a laptop that has no working battery monitor.
