OPENOFFICE MAC OS PPC INSTALL
That being said, I’m not sure how long it’s going to last on my lappy – I’m already itching to install Frugalware or arch. While I think that *all* of the release-every-6-months distros need to put some serious work into their upgradeability, I don’t think it is at all fair to judge a release by how bad a time you had upgrading to it. I think Edgy is probably the best release of *buntu to date – I certainly have found it the most user friendly and most polished of any I have tried, and I have tried all of them, including warty. Some people have no problem upgrading, most folks I know do/did. I think it’s more or less a given that if you want to run one of the 6-month wonder distros, you’re going to be reinstalling every so often. I don’t mean the command itself, I mean moving from one point release to another via dist-upgrade. Has never once worked out well for me using *buntu. If I had left those people alone they’d still be running Breezy without a problem. Upgrading requires a voluntary effort, that regular users wouldn’t normally make.
OPENOFFICE MAC OS PPC UPDATE
To Ubuntu’s defence, their update model doesn’t shove upgrades down anybody’s throat. Not to mention the upgrade process freezing once during the initialization phase, or refusing to go on because of a couple of lines in source.list it didn’t like (that it added itself!) On another, the upgrade stripped the NVidia binary driver but neglected to replace “Driver ‘nvidia'” with “Driver ‘nv'” in nf, leaving the system unusable for that user’s level of expertise. On one occasion the automatic network connection was dropped. I’ve coaxed a number of people during the last days upgrade from Breezy and it’s fortunate I supervised the move. I don’t think it’s OK for an upgrade of one of the most prominent Linux desktop distro’s to resemble the “fun” I usually have with my “unstable” Debian home box.
Upgrading (as opposed to clean installs) is one of the main advantages of a Linux desktop.
