Is this a core 2 duo or a core duo? I just upgraded for edgy to feisty last night and it was pretty smooth and I had the nice same experiences as you did, especially with pommed getting the function keys to just work. I will probably do a fresh install at some point in the future when I have more hope taht everything will work cleanly. The Ubuntu people are doing really good work ;->
