Thank you Carl, Jim and Gus for being there at the Technical Book Store
yesterday, where I really needed help.
My wife replaced her ten year old computer. We tried out two different
ones with Vista from Fry's , but both crashed
and she really didn't like the "feel" of the mail and browser programs.
After two weeks, I returned both computers,
convincing her Ubuntu was the ticket. I bought a Dell computer with
Ubuntu 7.1 factory installed. "Envelope" filled
the bill of being close to what Outlook had been. Home life was good
again, until last week, when I upgraded to
Ubuntu 8. Disaster struck! It booted erratically. My life was plagued by
old suspicions that I had again screwed up
with Linux. I was ready to make a fresh install.
Yesterday,Gus worked for two hours to identify my problem, caused by Dell, and
entered
solutions. A fresh install was not needed. All data was saved. I came home
triumphantly.
Life is good! BZ Gus.
I too had many problems with the upgrade to 8.x. But being a novice, I
just went back to 7.1 /Gutsy Gibbon./ Will you please elaborate on your
problems and Gus's solutions.
