Jaunty has been rock-solid on my laptop since Alpha 4.  The Boradcom STA
driver for my wireless card finally runs without causing kernel panics,
but I'm sticking with ndiswrapper until the wl driver can do a few more
basic things.  Like scan for networks quickly, or report what network
it's attached to.

An upgrade went quite smoothly, even though there were warnings about
half of X being removed... Thanks to someone here suggesting to set
IgnoreABI True in xorg.conf I didn't even lose 3D acceleration over the
upgrade.  This was solved before alpha 5, and before the release
candidate I had my external monitor working again.  Of course, I blame
nVidia for all the display problems since they refuse to release
documentation to create a real driver.

In general, performance seems to be up.  I like the new boot theme and
the new GDM theme too.  And I may be in the minority, but I really like
the new notifications.  I'd prefer some options to position them to
areas I'm looking at more frequently, but at least they don't get in my way!

This is why I'll never buy an ATi card ;)
