I had no hassle. I did it in the evening on my home UHF and generally downloaded just under 200kb. The only issues I have had, and reported as bugs: 1. Evolution crashes when you try to close it. 2. Need to close and reopen skype when the machine wakes up from sleep. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- <PRE> Best regards, Chris Shaw </PRE> Director – Strachan's Photo ************************** Sent from my Ubuntu net-book Free to work anywhere, any-time. <A HREF="http://www.ubuntu.org.zw">www.ubuntu.org.zw</A> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> On Tue, 2011-04-26 at 15:42 +0200, Kalpesh Thaker wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> @ martin.. generally upgrades arent too much of a hassle....however, they can give issues.... </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> in my case.. i've done alot of customisation with kde.. and the upgrade worked flawlessly.. everything </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> is intact.. email.. skype.. files....no problemo. </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> @rocco.. locally.. on adsl im getting around 200-300kb..im not sure about uhf though...i heard uhf sucks badly because the speed </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> keeps fluctuating.. </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> once again...11.04 & KDE havent failed to disappoint :) </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> im loving libreoffice too :) both on moral grounds.. and just how quicker it is than openoffice.. </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> a very wise move there from canonical. </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 2:55 PM, Rocco <<A HREF="mailto:rocs19@gmail.com">rocs19@gmail.com</A>> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE> thanks for the info.
