Yup, the upgrade to 6.06 from 5.10 went off painlessly. My $gf upgraded
her own box :). I did have to point out 'new version' button, but
otherwise she was able to handle it herself!

The upgrade tool really needs to allow downloading the packages and then
doing the upgrade later.

They warn to quit all programs before doing the upgrade. I didn't, of
course :). Everything worked fine up until the end, but then the graphical
stuff went all wonky :(. The reboot for the new kernel and new X got
everything in order.

The graphical interface looks nicer to me and the system feels a lot more
responsive.

I've found a couple of problems, but mostly it's working wonderfully.

Ubuntu continues to impress me as an excellent version of the debian
distro.

ciao,
