I understand that there is just *one* person who is principally behind
this release with getting assistance from only a couple of others: he
goes by the epithet of THEEMAN.

As the wallpaper was a bit too garish for my taste, I changed it to
something from the alt.binary.pictures.wallpapers usenet newsgroup.  I
found out about the problem with the nvidia driver - and saw it affect
the cursors - but that was easy to fix.  As others have said, no distro
is totally bug free and by letting the developers know what we've found
with UE, we'll make it better.

There is another OS out there that I've mentioned before, that tries
to make the Ubuntu experience fuller: Super OS.  However, it has only
been available for 32bit versions of Karmic, although it was mentioned
that the 64bit would be available for the Lucid-based release.  As I
now use 64bit.....

Thanks for thanking me, but none of the "improvements" in Lucid could
have been made without Ubuntu first issuing it.  All it needed was a
bit better preparation which would have taken some more time: it was
released too early.  Meantime we have UE.
