Thanks.  Didn't know abouit the f-spot page, but a brief look at it doesn't
encourage me but I'll look again.
Towards the end of this week I'm likely to get a brand new Intel mac mini
and naturally I want to use Ubuntu on it.  Even having read about all the
Feisty bugs reported on  this list recently, I am tempted to go for Feisty
because of the ability to use f-spot the same as iphoto (and then I can
persuade my missus to switch from iphoto).  I'm afraid that The Gimp is not
an option for me at the moment due to work pressures but I look forward to
grappling with it later on.
Firstly am I being stupid, and ought to wait until the novelty of Feisty has
worn off and it has become reliable?  If not, how should I load Fiesty
bearing in mind that I have never burnt a disc and didn't load Daffy myself,
having had it done as a turn-key job for me?  I'm happy to learn how to run
in Ubuntu, except I'm finding learning, these days, an uphill job because I
can no longer remember sequences and my handwriting is getting difficult to
read.  The help I got with loading f-spot was super.
Yrs    Robin
