Ubuntu-8.10 - After a Week

I put the latest Ubuntu on this 32 bit machine last week. There are some things I don't like, compared to the 8.04 installation, the main one, I can't get it to 1280x1024 resolution. It is using "No Proprietary Drivers" but haven't worked out how to get them in anyway.

On reflection, a few things I don't like probably result from being accustomed to 8.04 which I have built up over the last 6 months.

By far the worst thing is the default wall paper, yukkie!!!!! Very rapidly changed it to that like in two posts ago

The pluses are of course that all the libraries are in the normal path, and for a while at least, won't have go building them in /opt.

So will probably stick with it till what will it be, 9.04?
