OK Dave, I know exactly where you're coming from and it's my sentiment entirely. What I'm asking is could the virtualization improvements for example, be added to the LTS as a patch or upgrade, rather than have to wait 'till the next LTS? I have a client who would love to dump Windows, but un

There is no doubt 9.10 has been more buggier than normal largely due to the amount of new technologies going into it, I was quite aware of this as it seems like they were throwing a lot of the stuff into 9.10 so they can build on it, and feature complete it by 10.04, the bug issues have been mentio

You know, This may sound a little like heresy, but is a new release every 6 months sustainable? Or even necessary? Is it just me or is each new release becoming just a little more buggy? It just seems like they're coming out of a sausage factory with the casings not quite tied off. I keep goi

I love the little points of Karmic. The Dust Sand theme - apparently it was available in Jaunty too, but this is the first time I've noticed it. It does look a little like OS X which I usually hate, but it's a very nice theme that integrates with everything well. I also like the fade-in, fade-out

I upgraded my jaunty netbook remix to karmic - first time I've done an in-place upgrade. Overall a pleasant experience. There were a couple of glitches with the notification area - which were a known issue for my netbook (hpmini 1000) - but these are slowly coming good as the updates flow in. One

Hi to all... I have to agree on the half baked! I realise that Empathy will mature, and maybe even surprise us all to the point of "hey why didn't we use this earlier!" but sadly for me I find it irritating for IRC and have since completely removed it and reverted back to Pidgin! (I only use IRC,
