Re: How do you like Hardy?
I updated three boxes and a laptop. There was a range of different video cards and cpus. Mostly painless with the following problems:
1) Firefox 3 is beta and sluggish at times. I reverted to Firefox-2 easily enough.
2) Pulseaudio server is still a bit immature. One of my boxes had two sound cards and it took a long while to sort out. Another box I had to switch the sound preferences to alsa.
3) On my laptop (thinkpad T60), the system runs hotter apparently because there is a kernel or bios bug for dual processors. This is very annoying.
All systems upgraded without any problems like misconfigured video so that was good.
There seem to be a lot of bugfixes going into the proposed repository at present so things might be less irritating in a month or so...

| I upgraded from gutsy to hardy and so far it seems pretty stable. I've had a few problems with what appears to be nautilus freezing and a couple of hard lock ups but I'm sure it will be worked out. I did have to reinstall my nvidia driver but it went pretty smoothly.
I must say that I do not care for the "awesome bar" in Firefox 3. I think it is way to cluttered and as of right now it can't be disabled without doing a couple things in about:config. Clear private data no longer seems to actually clear everything. I prefer the URL bar in Firefox 2. I do not like how FF3 includes my bookmarks and so much useless info in the URL drop down menu. FF2 was left intact during the upgrade so I have found myself using it more than 3. |
