Thanks, Rob; while we're on the subject of automatic log-ins, does
anybody know a way of getting Evolution to unlock the GPG/PGP keyring
automatically when it starts up? By default you have to enter the
password manually each time you start the Evolution client (even if you
never actually use encry

now, and decided, ooohh, lets try it, and it worked straight away. I've
got it running on my little netbook. Its a bit slow but its definately
working. Yay.

I'm not very good with upgrades and things, so I was really pleased when
I upgraded using the upgrade tool, to find that it worked perfectly too.
I was kind of dreading it, with my past experience with messing things
up, but I was very impressed.

Well, then I stand corrected! ;)
When I installed Ibex on my Macbook, there was loads of buggering around in
the config files to get things like the touchpad scrolling working, and
loads of sound issues, and other things which I don't recall just to hand.
Which is fair enough, as there's a hell of

I'm personally an 'install from fresh' person, but that's
just me ;)

I wouldn't say that upgrading is unreliable in Windows - a clean
install is always a better option, and technically safer, but
upgrading is also quite reliable.

Hi,
I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 this morning, and it was absolutely
painless. I didn't lose any of my personal data or preferences, as far
as I can see, though it reverted my user log-in from automatic to
manual.

It's certainly interesting but I won't be holding my breath until we see
something actually being delivered. The road of Open Source Good Intentions
is littered with failed projects.
I'd like it if they succeeded but time will tell.
