[ubuntu-za] Karmic Happiness

[David Robert Lewis (ethnopunk)]

Hello everybody,

Just a note to say I have installed Karmic (a complete new installation) 
after holding back upgrading Hardy to Ibex and Jackalope, because of 
problems with upgrading the whole system over the net and I am very 
happy. It's an impressive improvement to experience Gnome2 and the whole 
OS is definitely maturing. Speed is wonderful.

Grub2 is still in its infancy and noticed the strange lag in startup 
screens and the ready sound being out of synch, but this is minor.

Love the new look, its very cool. Also, I no longer have to worry about 
being in 64bit hell. Even if a lot of folks swear 64bit is maturing, 
there is no working 64bit driver for my Lexmark printer. So this problem 
will now be fixed, finally. Still not sure if my filesystem is now ext4 
or still ext3, any idea?

Regards

DRL
