Not the press we'd have hoped for - and from a usually friendly source. I must say, I, too, had a bit of a problem with an upgrade from 9.04 (just a failure of the automatic restart, and, on manual reboot, some warnings about unmet dependencies that were easily fixed with apt-get). On the other hand, a clean install went fine. Both of these boxes were elderly, and were machines I keep for playing with, so no big deal if they go wrong. I must say, though, that I won't be upgrading my 'production' machines just yet. mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
