Useful info:
http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/ is good for backups - runs also from liveCD, backupr to USB. Fast and fancy, per scot
free ubuntu stickers: http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64 - just send self-adressed *stamped* envelope
upgrading feisty -> gutsy: per scot:
Sata -- no problem. Single IDE - no problem, Multiple IDEs -- be careful
If it's a fresh install, I say go for it. Upgrading? Perhaps use clonezilla first!
upgrade was worth it especially on the notebooks. Network manager works (WIFI and VPN)
They ditched (at least as a default) the gnome control center. I like it and you can add it as an option under preferences. But do you know how to replace the Preferences and Admin menus with Gnome Control Center? In essence, change the system menu. I did some looking around, it's harder than it look
Scot has 10 PCs at home, maybe he grows them? :-) Come to next meeting and ask him how!
Please add comment, or PM me to edit/delete if I misunderstood something
