Agree. Kubuntu 11.04 upgraded to 11.10 on my home workstation is giving me a hell of a time I haven't seen in years. Nvidia drivers especially are unpredictable. Some utilities like Amarok drive CPU use to 103% according to top. Stable Debian or minimal Ubuntu with XFCE4 would be more appropriate for EMC and better fit for smaller embedded systems IMO. I looked at XFCE4 recently and find it provides good enough environment for most GUI needs with smaller footprint than Gnome or KDE. > I am not complaining, just wondering what our outlook for the future > is and if there are any suggested changes.

Mix of 64bit and 32bit libraries and other code is causing all kinds of strange problems if you run some Java or other apps that were written for 32 bit release. -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
