    A coworker's daughter just upgraded - she's been on Ubuntu for a few years.

    Since this update, she has no sound whatsoever from her laptop. Apparently this is not uncommon from this update, and not fixed according to her.

    Unfortunately it also shows that while it's great if everything works - if it stops working, good luck fixing it without increasing your knowledge of the OS a hundredfold...

    I've been using 9.10 for about a month now, and everything was perfect, until I booted last night and it returned "cannot mount root" due to "unrecognizable file system". Fooey bananas, at least my XP partition still works... I guess...

    I really like the UI styling of the NBR. And the touchpad on my asus eee 900a finally works properly with this release. So I have gone Xandros, Easy Peasy, vanilla Ubuntu 8.10, then 9.04, back to easy peasy, Win 7 and finally to 9.10. This release feels like the one that might finally stick.

    9.10 looked nice but it didn't upgrade cleanly for me. It was my first bad experience with Linux. :-(

    @clR3vv: Perhaps but since I've already had bad Windows and OS X experiences it was tough to complete the trifecta.

    @Slightly Bigger Than Wee Jock But Not So Big as Middle-Sized Jock Jock: Yeah I think I'll wait until 10.04 for my next upgrade.

    @jamjen: I used to live in Australia and had my fair share of Koala.

    1st: they aren't soft like they look. They feel hallow and matted

    2nd: They smell! You know how you see the little Koala hanging on to the mom's back. Well the reason is all they eat is Euculiptis (sp?) leaves which are toxic. To build an immunity they babies feed only off of their mother's feces which has smaller amounts of the toxin until they have immunity. So while its cute that he's hanging on to her back, his other hand is catching the feces and shoveling into his mouth. #ubuntu910karmickoala

    @Ridley: I've never lived in Australia but I visited once & held a koala for a tourist photo op (sorry) and I loved every second of being with that smelly, furry, awesome being. I don't know what Ubuntu is nor do I care - I only clicked through to hopefully see more photos of koalas and to discuss koala related things. Um, yeah. I know. #ubuntu910karmickoala

    My apartment is infested with Koala bears, it's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light a bunch of koala bears scatter, and I don't want them to, I'm like "Hey hold on fellas" let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf.

    Apparently running Linux leads to you getting so frustrated with it that you slam it against the table and break the top right edge of the plastic off. The iPhone OS makes me do that sometimes too..

    Just in time! This weekend I'm un-switching by giving my Macbook to the wife and setting up Ubuntu on a cheap PC laptop.


    The reason? She wants to do all sorts of media stuff that her old K7 based HP Pavilion tank can't handle and I spend most of my time in a terminal or a browser.
