Ditto... I tested Alpha & Beta, but had to turn the machine back into a
server. So... drum roll please... I decided that Intrepid is probably
stable enough now to install on my test laptop. That machine is an old
T21 Thinkpad with 800Mhz/384MB Ram & the infamous Blink of Death/BOD
problem & doesn't do compiz anyway, so I figure it's time. It's updating
from Hardy now & due to the limited memory it will take about 4 hours.
