Jaunty experiences?

[Doooh Head]

Well everyone, its been a few days.  Has anyone upgraded to 9.04 yet, if so what has your experience been like so far?

I've had both a good and not so good experience so far.  

I upgraded an old Dell Inspiron laptop to the pre-release version and it had absolutely no problems.  It now boots faster and runs well.

I attempted to upgrade my Desktop, which is a 64-bit AMD dual-core with an ATI X1600 video card.  It wasn't a good experience.  The freely available ATI drivers dropped support for this video card, therefore after the successfull upgrade my display was very very slow.  I searched for resolutions and tried several things to no avail.  By the end of my attempts my xorg.conf file was so unrecognizable that I just gave up on it.  I performed a backup of my home directory then re-installed from scratch.

After the fresh install everything was working perfectly.  The speed of my display was fine so I performed my restore.  Everything was fine until I started to notice that features of my Firefox seemed strange.  No Flash was working so I attempted to install the plugin.  It kept failing regardeless of which one I attempted to install.  Then for some unknown reason the scrolling in Firefox got real "choppy".  I didn't know what I did to cause that, so I just re-installed once again.

One good thing about all of this is that I am getting better at setting up my printer/scanner and CUPS server!

Doooh
