upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy

[J&L]

John P Reply to Dennis Question

Hi Dennis I  have been installing Gutsy  32 bit  on all the upgrade I 
have been installing for People moving over from windows xp or Vista to 
Ubuntu Gusty. I also have installed Gutsy 32 bit on computers that I 
have helped people to  put together. The performance is good and I  had 
some very positive fed back from people moving to the 32 bit Gutsy . The 
only trouble  I have experienced is finding new color printers to buy 
from the store , but I know that eventually this will not be a problem 
,because I think that Hp is really making a effort to  make color 
printer driver for Ubuntu Gutsy.

I hope that this information was helpful to you
