While I generally recommend doing upgrades with debian and Ubuntu once
they're available I will admit I'm not too happy with gutsy.

The X configuration does some new fancy things, but doesn't do them
well in my experience. If you're running a single monitor you might be
fine. You might also find that the config tool doesn't support as high
a resolution as you'd like. Luckily, on a single monitor setup you can
still use 'X -configure'.

I've also had a couple problems with OpenOffice.org. That might've been
due to a particular document, but it still resulted in OO.o not running at
all.

Lots of good things too, but some problems that need to be solved.

Feisty's still suported, so I suggest waiting 6 months and asking about
that release.

ciao,
