I use an Asus netbook. I ran Ubuntu Netbook Remix at first, then with 10.10 I was a bit disappointed at the loss of some familiar functionality. I hear that 11.04 will be better. I am doing it now and I'll post later to say what I think of the outcome. Those other guys were right, though -- if you can't afford any trouble, I wouldn't upgrade today, on Day 1 of a new release. If the machine is essential for work, I would, at the very least, wait until the end of the workday on Friday, try to upgrade then (after full backup of critical system data) and then go to the installfest on Saturday if you have a problem. Even safer would be to wait a month so that if you have trouble, you can do Google searches to see how other people fixed their problems. On Day 1 Google can't be nearly as helpful. Mike
