as i do enjoy helping creators of ubuntu make it better by fixing bugs,
ive decided to stay with karmic 9.10 untill lucid 10.04 is done and
fully functional. which is only 2 weeks away... i hope everything gets
sorted out. so far ubuntu is the best ive worked with... ive heard many
other distros out there that are just as good as ubuntu, but havent
tried them out yet.
