If you follow the cracker's 50% rule, then if my username is up on screen to select then that's 50% closer to breaking in than not knowing what username to try (except maybe root but that is not allowed to log in) All the desktop icons and task bar icons certainly seem more polished, unfortunately the system ran like a dog so that's all I had time to look at, but apparently there's some other cool feature including a different package manager but I cannot comment on that. Has anyone else upgraded to 9.10 and what are your thoughts? Regards Richard
