I'm one of the Hoary/nVidia users that got caught by the kernel update "oops!" yesterday. I must say, one of the things that impresses me most about the free and open software community (Ubuntu in particular!) is that, instead of panicking, I said "give it a day or so...". I booted back into Warty to do what I needed to do.

Today, I come home from work, fire up Hoary in recovery mode, run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot - and problem solved.

I just don't see commercial (ahem) OSes responding that quickly.

To the Ubuntu devs, once again, "thanks, people!".

Nope. The commercial (ahem) OSes would only do it once a month ;)

well you have to consider that this IS in development, and I imagine they'd fix development versions of that commercial OS much sooner so that they could continue development.

Good thought. Call it "Array", call it "Preview", it's still beta. Now - how many times have I sworn off beta testing???<g>
