Jaunty experiences?

[Victor Mendonça]

I installed netbook remix last week on my Acer Aspire one as well and I'm extremely happy. The OS seems very solid and a lot faster than previous releases. 

I did however find 3 small bugs that seem to be from Gnome and Firefox side. But again, they are just small bugs.

I have ran into a few problems with python-2.6 not including eggs for and gitosis, trac
As result I have my servers held at intrepid or running debian. 

KDE 4.4.2 is usable and FAR better stability, but at this time gnome is better for most tasks. 

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kb9vqf/ubuntu intrepid main universe multiverse restricted
provides KDE 3 which is still more usable and than KDE 4.4.2

emdebian is still evolving. In this case I think it is better to use debian/ubuntu tools to build your rootfs and craft your init states. It is definately something that will work well for hardware integrators working incooperation with debian/ubuntu. Where cooperation between hardware intergrators and and debian/ubuntu is present, emdebian is going to rock!!

On the desktop Jaunty is the best yet.

I cannot comment yet on the remix for atom netbooks.

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 ;)
