   Reviewing 9.10 (Nov 2, 2009)

   Installed Kubuntu 9.10 on a ~2003 Dell Dimension 2400 with 2gb RAM. Very stable, fast, and reliable on an almost 7-year-old machine.

   In a word ... STABLE.

   Seems to be OK, though I am a bit worried that there may be problems coming up. I installed this "within" Windows 7 ... It is actually a dual boot situation. Two problems encountered so far. When installing, it required a re-boot. The re-boot got to a point where the screen was totally black and this lasted for about 10 minutes. I grew tired of the wait and forced another re-boot. This time, 9.10 actually booted to desktop. The second problem occured when I decided to see if there were any updates. Of course I knew that the chance of updates on the day that the version was released was slim, but I tried anyway. I still don't know if there are any updates as I haven't tried in the last 12 hours or so since install, but at the time, the updating software failed to complete. I tried 3 or 4 times, and I'll probably try again sometime today. If it works, I'll edit this review.
   
   Edit: I have tried again to update and 3 files were added to or modified within the original operating system. Update is now working.
   
   One other problem, however, has raised it's ugly head. When I boot the computer, I get a choice of either Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I expect this window. But after choosing Ubuntu, I get another screen offering me 3 choices, two are Ubuntu and the other is Windows 7. This screen should never come up unless I specifically ask for more boot options. Weird!

   ok, it is safe? now what can do with it? i have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my 3th computer, and Mint 7 on 2th with XP. I'm happy with my Win 7 & XP. don't get me wrong, i don't have nothing against Mac or Linux but it seems that Linux fanatics are trying to make Ubuntu looking better than it is. but as long as there is no Stalinistic world with only Linux, im happy.
   
   (some guy, i have big problems ATI driver, but i guess that not count because Linux is "perfect"....)
