I can certainly stand it if there are still seriouse problems when we 
get 11.04. I have an old IBM box I install the latest stuff to and when 
it begins to work as I want it to, then I install to the one I use.  I 
just recently installed 10.10. Have been using 10.04 because it worked 
for me.  If we don't want any problems we should stay off the bleeding 
edge,there are always going to be problems there.  Any software that 
doesn't grow will die.  I guess Ubuntu is trying to grow if it does it 
will succeed if it doesn't it will fad into 
oblivian.                       Doug
