my screed apparently did not communicate what I meant to ask. bear with me. (donning fireproof clothing).
As an Ubuntu *user* every now and then I get an alert that upgrades are available. If I say "yes" it automagically fires up a package manager. I enter the my root password, and a few minutes later it's a done deal. Smooth, easy, does not require IQ of 175+ for a major Ubuntu upgrade, e,g from Gutsy 7.10 to Hardy 8.04, I select an upgrade button, and sit back while magic happened. when I rebooted, I was on 8.04. I did NOT lose my address book, either. <g> ok that last comment was a bit snarky. and uncalled for. pls remember, I DO understand that for the next six months or maybe 12 months, the environment and software stability is not intended for "just users" like me. and maybe Freerunner forever remains a niche device for Linux developers and hackers. That's OK. But then technical users 9but non-hackers) may be better served by some other flavor of Linux mobile phone. Just sayin'. -- Ron K. Jeffries
