I've been considering upgrading, but I'm still hearing rumblings that some instability problems remain. Re. Ubuntu crashing, I've been using it for a long time, some of my friends have been using it for years, and this is the first crash I, or any of my friends have encountered, and this thread contains the first reports I've heard of crashes. I'm not saying it doesn't crash (not any more, at least), but crashes appear to be so few and far between as to be statistically irrelevant. Anyway, no matter how you cut it, it does seem strange that there suddenly seems to be a rash of crashes (albeit small), all happening at roughly the same time, when 7.10 has been out there, running on, I presume, thousands of machines, for quite some time now, with no previous reports (that I know of) of crashing. Maybe it's an astrological thing, or maybe some numerologist can enlighten us about something to do with the numbers involved in yesterday's date, or something. It just seems too odd to be simple coincidence, to me. I still think it's Bill Gates, in a darkened roomsomewhere, chanting and sticking pins in a stuffed penguin doll.
