The Ocelot has Landed!

[John Niendorf]

For what it is worth, here are my thoughts on 11.10

I'm running an Inspiron 1520.

After upgrading, as opposed to a clean install, the file manager crashed
almost every time I opened it.  I was advised on the forums to uninstall the
Ubuntu One client and that seems to have solved that problem.

I also had random cursor freezes which I was told might be solved by
unchecking disable trackpad when using the keyboard.  That seems to have
solved the problem.

So far I don't see any great benefit from 11.10 over 11.04.  Maybe that will
change as I use it more.
