[BozemanLUG] Ubuntu 10.04

[Sheldon Ross]

I've upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 to 10.04 on one of my machines at work here, and my taskbar is all messed up. The user agent switcher applet crashes. I tend to tweak alot though, and I'm guessing it has something to do with the .gnome etc settings in your home directory. "pollution" as Scott called it.

The only issue I've had with the fresh install is an Xorg crash when using firefox. This describes and provides a fix for that.

Other than that I agree that 10.04 is the slickest install yet.
