Me, personally, I'd say wipe reload. It's easier than doing 9.04 -
9.10 followed by 9.10 - 10.04.

You can install 32 bit air on 10.04, even 64-bit. Essentially, you need
to download the .bin (not the .deb) version.
It's really easy to install Air onto Lucid, as I understand it, problem
is the iPlayer doesn't work with the version of Air in the repos. You
might be able to sort it out

Hi Folks
I was interested to read Glen Mehn's comments about OOO Base; effectively,
brilliant but who uses it?
I used to be an MS Access developer and was quite a big fan. Now I've moved
over to Linux I've been experimenting with just what can be done with Base, to

What happens if you run sudo update-grub?
