I think I've used all the .deb handleers (well, not dselect and not much dpkg). I only recently upgraded to 10.04 RC and then to the new version today.

Although not a believer in a deity (sorry, Pastor) I'd still like to give your sentiment a hardy, "Amen!" I must say that the upgrade to 10.04 has been the most flawless of all that I have done. So far I have noticed absolutely no problems although (sad to say) some people are having some slight troubles. I'm /almost/ willing to bet on a small number of complaints/troubles here in the days and weeks to come. We might all have to move over to Sounder. for a while until the next experimental version. (wazzit, the Marauding Macaque ?) This next bit is decidedly OT, not PC nor related to PCs and quite likely to be offensive to some so, if thin-skinned, PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW!: I had been hoping for 10.04 to be, "Lascivious Ladies," since I know some of them to be real animals but then remembered that none are stable.

I've been reading the links from the results of that search, and so far most of them are talking about slow speeds when using USB. I think I'm going to go ahead and register my own bug report with Launchpad, and see if I can get any results that way, as this so far is specific only to this camera, with all other USB devices working no problem on my system.
