Just done my dist-upgrade and everythings fine..  It asked for a reboot (new kernel) and I didnt bother, just stopped GDM and started it again... X was broke (new nvidia-glx package) so rebooted...  the kernel then matched the new nvidia, and X was working magically.

it seems fast, and stable so far.......just like it has been since I first starting using dapper :P

16mb of updates got me the final. No surprises.

The Espresso installer looks quite cool!

Quick screenie, the wallaper and other theme bits are standard Ubuntu stoff, just not the defaults.



Edit: the wallpapers shown in the file manager are mine, not Ubuntu stuff.

Torrenting now :)

Whats the program that installs all the extra useful stuff automagically?

EDIT: Oh, and the 112k down proves that Azureus encrypted traffic gets around Pipexs packet shaping :)

Easy Ubuntu or Automatix.

Both have their issues, so user beware. Make sure to get a version thats for Dapper or youll likely have major problems.

Problems? None here. Ive run the bleeding edge of Dapper for months with everything working just fine. Wasnt able to use Xnest for a few days, but its never used for much more than to show off.

Easy Ubuntu and Automatix, depending on version number, can do stupid stuff like change your /etc/apt/sources.list. Running them to install bits and bobs will in all liklihood never hurt anything, but with sh*tty sources, updating can be very fun indeed. Especially if you ignore advice and install a Hoary version on a Dapper box, do an "update" and all hell breaks loose. :lol:

Always back up your sources before running either is the lesson to be learned. ;)
