10.04, like all Ubuntu new releases, is buggy and released too soon.
Wait until July for 10.04.1, when the developers have sorted all the
bugs, and by then it should be stable
The problem is that the developers insist on releasing a "new" version
every six months.

This system does not make for stable releases.
