Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] Assorted Observations and Comments
Hi James and others... I have seen some bug reports re 10.1.3. Is it ready for big time? I want the most stable build I can install to show the XOs to their best advantage at the expo. I have time to install 10.1.3 if it is decidedly better. I would like things to go as smoothly as possible as there will be times volunteers are running the booth while I do a presentation and/or help with Karsten Wade's hands-on workshop with XO-1s.

Many of the bugs fixed are user experience related ... and this was a purpose of the work they did. I recommend trying it, especially for showing to members of the general public. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
