Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

Upgraded Kid to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
Tried Unity, too slow.  Back to Xfce.
Network interface insisted on configuring IPv6 and no IPv4.  Unfortunately my oldish router doesn't seem to handled this very well.  Tried removing and adding the IF back with an IPv6 config disabled and IPv4(DHCP) enabled.  Works then, will see if it stays after a reboot.

Upgrading Office computer IV

This is the new target upgrade: 11.10
About two hours to go, plus the pausing for questions and such.
So far so good.
Rebooting into 11.04 went fine (after the mandatory fsck though).
XFCE config has changed, I had to re-add some gadget into the bar as it started with an empty/standard one.
I also have a XFCE panel on the bottom in this version.

upgrading office computer, 2012 version

Had to remove the iscan 3rd party package before upgrade---It was bought with Vista :-|
Still running Jaunty until yesterday, long time out of support.
Finally found the EOLupgrades page to help me upgrade to Karmic.

From there using the normal procedure to go to Lucid 10.04 LTS.
