These sorts of possibilities are what has so far kept me from upgrading my
X40 from Ubuntu Intrepid to Jaunty.
One thing that I have heard mentioned frequently is the upgrade vs. clean
instal paths. My preference would be to upgrade, which from your post is
what I am assuming you did. I've probably installed somewhere between 25 -
50 additional applications since I built out this machine, and the thought
of having to reinstall that doesn't thrill me.
In my case, Ubuntu 8.10 works on my ThinkPad, so for now at least, I'll
probably not jump into the deep end. That said, I did recently get rid of my
little Asus Eee 4G Surf and replaced it with an Acer Aspire One (8.9"
screen). On this machine, I chose to share out XP's landscape with what was
then Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6. It worked well out of the box and has updated
itself successfully to the release version (and beyond).

A lightweight Ubuntu distribution.
Because software, like people, should be allowed to exist in an open,
sharing community, and not kept contained by corporate greed!

Well, I should have checked before upgrading to Fedora 11. =A0Fedora 10<br>
worked so well on my X40 that created a false sense of reliability.<br>
