On Ubuntu Dapper Drake

Like Migs, I am finally using Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake). I caved in to hype generated by the current release partly due to a timely crash of my laptop running WinXP and my work using LAMP.

I never had any second thought of putting linux on my laptop when reinstalling the OEM WinXP (France uses it). So two days ago, I installed Debian Sarge 3.1r2 in a separate partition. Problem with Debian is that it failed to detect the correct screen resolution of the notebook. I’m in no mood of looking for kernel rebuilding.

Good enough that I have an Ubuntu Breezy install cd around and for the second time installed linux on my laptop. The install process went well. And then had it upgraded to Ubuntu 6.06 yesterday.

So far I like it. It hung up on me just after logging in. I haven’t had time to shoot the problem yet. I would probably change it to Xubuntu after knowing it uses Xfce. I have xfce on my debian work machine.
