I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu version. I think this is 11.10? Anyway they still use the Unity desktop. They have a version that works on low end computers like mine. And I do really like it! The upgrade was very smooth. It resolved some of the issues I have with the remote session to my work computer. (Typing used to lag really, really badly and letters would get transposed all the time.) My network card works, the sound works, and I can even sync to my iphone. This works so well that it will probably be at least two upgrades before I upgrade again. The only thing I have problems with is Firefox, which seems to crash too often. I have problems with Firefox on the Win XP machine too, so I think that is just a Firefox issue.
And my web hosting company finally sorted out the issue with this blog so I can post again.
