[ubuntu-za] Trusty Tahr not so trusty?

[Jan Greeff]

Good, solid strategic comments, thanks Charl.

My apologies if my heading sent the wrong message; Trusty is by far the 
best fresh-install experience that I have had. I asked for and received 
many comments that helped me to decide to go the fresh install route, 
and am not at all sorry. It co-incided with the arrival of my new SSD 
and everything is working extremely well.

The only little niggle at this stage is my Nokia cellphone not 
connecting to transfer images, not a big deal.

Take care,

Jan
