On my HP Mini 2133 netbook all went well: 1) On mine it is notably quicker. 2) Given 1) above I've not really seen much of it! I did notice the word Ubuntu with some dots underneath, but miss it on most boots!! 3) Can't comment, not used it. 4) Cheese is working nicely on my machine. 5) Not sure as I have any, at one point I thought it vanished once in a while, but not sure it does now. 6) Not a big user on my netbook, not overly worried. 7) I like the new icons, giving the position a chance, not the end of the world for me, in spite of 20 years or so of using them on the right! 8) Lost me here, which menus. Personally I'm quite liking it. It also now works with my 3 dongle without patching :) As for flash, I noted that I didn't have flash, but wasn't 100% sure I had it installed. After a quick look around I installed the package adobe-flashplugin and everything works smoothly now with Adobe Flash 10. Clearly you didn't have a smooth update, for my mileage it would be worth a bit of investigation and bug reporting. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-05-11 20:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
