NoOp, I've been running Lucid for going on 5 days now, and I have to say
that on this laptop, it's the most solid beta I've ever run of ANY 
disto! It's also
the first time I actually like Gnome, which I've dislike for years. ;) I 
don't have the
grub problem as I only have Lucid installed on this box. 'Looks like 
I'll be moving
ALL my clients to Lucid over time......will take quite awhile.
