[Ubuntu Chicago] Intrepid Presentation @ ChiGLUG

[Francisco]

You can read some of my observations here:

The big thing for me is the added drivers in the latest kernel and 
wireless stack. Gimp is also updated with more freehand drawing support.
I hope the wacom issue in Xorg is fixed by release, its kind of rough 
for a tabletpc stylus or touchscreen to not be recognized by now when 
there was at least basic support earlier.  BTW I upgraded from 8.04 by 
removing everything except /home and installing fresh over it.
