More on Ubuntu-8.04

I installed a second Ubuntu-8.04, and it went bad on me big time. The Synaptic Packet Manager, downloading, upgrading, something went horribly wrong.

The thread on the Ubuntu forums is here
Interestingly there are a couple more with the same problem.

The Firefox-3 Beta release that comes with this issue seems to have problems, consumes an awful lot of cpu time when on web 2 sites like Google. Maybe a java problem.

So I will just hang off for a while and will now try a PC-OS 7.10 system which I am downloading at the moment.

Fun and games for the unemployed!
