I installed Ubuntu on my Dell Studio laptop from scratch (I do not believe in "upgrades"). I am very happy. The new Intel driver alone has made my laptop much faster. I like how they've improved the startup and shutdown times, too. So far, 9.10 feels like a very well-tuned and polished version of 9.04. I like how easy it is to install Flash and Java plug-ins now. Some problems: I like a fresh session when I log in, but somehow Gnome has remembered my previous session even though it shouldn't have according to my preferences. It is ignoring the settings. Same thing with VLC -- it's supposed to turn off the screen saver yet after ten minutes or so, the image dims and turns off. Annoying... Some good things: 25 minutes to install, which included a manual partition table layout. Very impressed! Chris More features. If you setup a root password, then you can log-in with Gnome By the way, Have you tried to run memtest or another OPSYS other then WDOZ.?
