A new version of Ubuntu was out on June 1st, Dapper Drake. Eager to load and check out the new bells and whisles I downloaded he iso, burned it to a CD and loaded last night. I had a little trouble getting the install to complete but that was due to X hanging. A quick check of help on the CD, prior to install, pointed me to pass vga=771 as an intall option. After that it was smooth sailing. It’s hasn’t been 24 hours yet but so far so good. I don’t have everything loaded and still have Breezy on my 60GB drive just in case.

So far only two issues and I seem to remember them from loading Breezy, no WEP on my on board wireless NIC and only a default contact list in Evolution. I can deal with those as they are not critical and I know the Evolution contacts are there as I copied the entire folder over before running. More than likely it’s the same problem I noted in a previous post just have to apply it. If all goes well the plan would be after getting everything up on the alternate drive take the 60GB and load XP then Dapper and dual boot. I have yet to do one of those as I’ve not really come across a need for it but now might be as good a time as any. Certainly would benefit my preperation for the LCP1 exam.
