> I upgraded last week when the pre-release announcement came out.  The upgrade for me was flawless and fast.  The new software was downloaded in less than 20 minutes and then the installation of it took about an hour.  After a restart, which was very quick, everything was up and running as expected.  I signed up for the free Ubuntu One.  I put some files up there...Meh.  Just another Google documents if you ask me.  Not sure if I like Empathy yet.  The thing I like about Pidgen is that it tells me when I have mail.  Unless there is a plugin for Empathy that does that I won't be switching over to it.
> I seem to have lost my Compiz settings so I had to reset those.  Pidgen does some weird stuff when it starts now, don't know the cause of that.  It asks me to confirm all of my users, so a dialog opens for each user.  Pain in the ass to clear.  I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it seems my Firefox doesn't work with Youtube.  I have Chrome installed and it doesn't work either, so I'm sure its just a plugin issue.

Doooh Head and Jonathan, thank you for your deliciously ON-TOPIC
posts! It is a step in the right direction. Let's inoculate this list
