Painful Pangolin, not sure about that, since this is the only the second
time I've done an upgrade that actually ended up with more than just a
terminal.

Wondering why the upgrade-tool doesn't reconfigure everything and
automatically apt-get install -f ?

Ubuntu needs to decide if its heading for the mainstream, or is just a
hobbyist OS?

Usual problems with NVIDIA being out of synch with the kernel.

Guess this means I need to pay more attention to open hardware and the open
source driver movement?
