Trouble Free Karmic Koala

“I try to make what I write clear enough for those new to Linux,
but that may make it seem like I’m not very experienced with Linux,
even though I have been actively abusing it since 1995. I have
decided to just keep on writing and let the chips fall where they
may.

“This post shouldn’t raise the ire of most people though,
because unlike many Ubuntu veterans and rookies alike, I have had
very little, if any, problems with Karmic Koala, much to my
delight. Though I should point out, even with the problems I had
with Jaunty, I still ran it on all of the systems I’m mentioning
here. I also manage twenty Sun workstations that have been happily
running Jaunty with none of the problems I had with my home system.
My home system is a Dell XPS 420 with an ATI graphics card. I first
upgraded, rather installed Ubuntu 9.10, and restored my data backup
from 9.04. I created user accounts and the previous fix to the
gnome-system-tools made this uneventful. Installing the multimedia
and third-party software is incredibly easy now. The best guide for
multimedia and add-on software I have found is over at
my-guides.net.”
