    Hows switching to Jaunty going to work?

    Is it just like the normal update, or do I have to do something special with the sys76 driver? I was just wondering.

    I know that this laptop is staying 8.10 until get all clear from sys76 for update.

    What in the world is a sys76 driver?
    If variety is the spice of life, monotony must therefore be the kiss of death.

    'sys76' is short for System76 (see www.system76.com); they provide a package (the System76 Driver, http://knowledge76.com/index.php/System76_Driver) that performs some model-specific fixes for the laptops and desktops that System76 sells and supports.

    You will be able to do the upgrade as normal if you want (although the System76 folks often suggest doing a clean install), and there will be a new version of the driver to perform any 9.04-specific changes, if necessary.
