Well I couldn't get the wireless to work with 11.10 although it worked fine with 11.04. So I put Mint on instead. ----- Original Message ----- From: gregrwm To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 12:16 PM Subject: Re: [tclug-list] What do you think of Ubuntu 11.10? > For me this is the third time in a row that an Ubuntu upgrade has broken > things that had been previously working on my system (audio again and > wireless this time). > > Maybe it does better on a fresh install, but I'm less impressed than I > was with their first few releases. Same here. Recent "upgrades" always break something that wasn't broke before. This time just annoying so far: I lost an optional wallpaper I liked, and maybe more I haven't discovered yet. I still prefer a major distribution like Ubuntu that has a large installed base and significant depth of support. the only safe upgrade is no upgrade. some distros have a better track record with upgrades than others but none can claim no bumps. installers do, tho, now make it way easier than it used to be to install fresh, alongside the original. that's the safe way. of course you need juggle partitions or lvm to make space. once it's all seems hunkie dorie for awhile you can discard the obsolete volume. i was impressed that the 11.10 installer spelled right out that i have xp and 10.4 already installed, would i like to replace one of those or something else. too bad it crashed later. glad i was installing alongside.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
