I upgraded a couple of machines yesterday, and was also impressed with 
Jaunty, which looks better in all sorts of subtle ways - the fonts, the 
artwork, etc.

One thing I did struggle with on my wifi-connected laptop was a 
recurrence of the ancient, irritating, and still-unfixed bug that causes 
CIFS shares to be disconnected before they are unmounted.  With Gutsy, 
Hardy and Intrepid, I'd successfully used the 'umountcifs' script that's 
much-applauded on the forum;  but that seems to have stopped working for 
Jaunty.  The only way I can now shut down the machine without generating 
a five minute delay while the CIFS VFS failure times out is to remove 
the old 'umountcifs' fix, and change the rc0.d and rc6.d priorities thus:

K01umountnfs.sh
K02gdm
K03usplash

I don't see why it's necessary to have umountnfs.sh at K01 -- you'd 
expect that the historic fixes that raise the priority of the CIFS 
unmount, or lower the priority of the network interface shutdown, or 
otherwise ensure that the shares unmount before the network closes, 
would still work.  But they don't.

Have the devs changed something in Jaunty about how the init.d / rc 
stuff works?
