<DIV class=im>> For me this is the third time in a row that an Ubuntu
upgrade has broken<BR>> things that had been previously working on my
system (audio again and<BR>> wireless this time).<BR>><BR>> Maybe
it does better on a fresh install, but I'm less impressed than I<BR>> was
with their first few releases.<BR><BR></DIV>Same here. Recent
"upgrades" always break something that wasn't broke before. This time
just annoying so far: I lost an optional<BR>wallpaper I liked, and maybe
more I haven't discovered yet. I still prefer a major distribution
like Ubuntu that has a large<BR>installed base and significant depth of
support.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>the only safe upgrade is no upgrade. some distros have a better
track record with upgrades than others but none can claim no bumps.
installers do, tho, now make it way easier than it used to be to install
fresh, alongside the original. that's the safe way. of course you
need juggle partitions or lvm to make space. once it's all seems hunkie
dorie for awhile you can discard the obsolete volume. i was impressed
that the 11.10 installer spelled right out that i have xp and 10.4 already
installed, would i like to replace one of those or something else. too
bad it crashed later. glad i was installing alongside..<BR></DIV></DIV>
