Ubuntu a further update

Reading the posts re 9.04 makes interesting reading. I hope that my account of the difficulties that I have had might help others.

Here goes.

The Acer Aspire was updated from 9.04 to 9.10 this afternoon. Remember I did not have any previous sound or internet access probs (Wired and Wireless).

The Very good:

General speed is greatly improved its about 20% quicker. Fire fox 3.5.5 Included too. There's support for SMART analysis of the hard disk drive too. Nice ! and useful too.

Update keeps you settings and installed progs where possible.

The not so good:

Wireless access although a lot quicker (56 Mb/s from 5-6 at most) - seems to be intermittent. More on this when I get a better picture.

The login screen is less than beautiful, but that's a minor point.

Update is a good move if you do not have an exsisting problem. (1MB Ram, Atom, 160 GB HD )

CAT III
