The only problem I had with the dist-upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty was an error in the script that failed to do everything. I had no Gnome panel and no Metacity. But having fixed those things everything else is working pretty much OK. In my case it was just the install script - the components themselves are working fine. As for boot time, I don't see a big difference. I do note that the the progress bar finishes faster, but the rest of the boot process now takes longer. I think they just made the progress bar stop sooner to make it look like it was booting faster. There are a number of complaints that it does not shut down completely. I have that issue as well, although I suspect that the problem is yet another thing that the install script failed to handle properly. One of these days I'll figure out what it is and fix it. Meantime I have this big power button on the computer. The computer gets electricity at my sufferance. There is one complaint I have. I already had the PPA version of OOo 3.0.1 installed on Intrepid, and it worked fine, not counting the documented bugs. The dist-upgrade installed the GO version. Now the Save button is always active, where before it would be grayed out after a save until a change was made. Apparently it was Novell that insisted on this for the GO version in order to make it act like Excel. Bah. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
