digest users

[Chris Kata]

Hi Courtney -
I too am new to Linux (Ubuntu specifically) having used it for about 12
months now on multiple machines including my netbook now. I too have noticed
bugs with the latest versions - but have grown accustomed to them being part
of the process.

The big difference I've found is in obtaining information on how to solve
the problems / work around them. Forums have helped as well as blogs - but
as a new participant in this list, I am hoping that this community will help
with that as well. The responses you've received already lead me to believe
that we're on the right track.

Thanks everyone! I will let you all know how my own move to 9.10 goes, OK!

Cheers,
Christopher Kata
