I don't usually install a release for a month or two and by then they 
are working well.  I got caught up in all this fussing and upgraded to 
9.10 yesterday.  Works for me.
I can't figure why anyone would expect a new upgrade to work 100 
percent.  Everyone I have downloaded early has had problems in the early 
days.  Look at Microsoft you buy there stuff and wait a couple years for 
a new program and you have to buy it Like Microsoft 7.   I don't think 
anyone writing any Linux is getting rich so hang in there it will get 
better.  Ever heard of biting the hand that feeds You?  Not writing this 
in reply to you Thomas, only to the the thread.
