So this has been more or less fun so far. Lots of updates everyday, and it's good to keep up with them and fun. Sure occasionally they break a few things, but more often than not things are getting fixed. Thankfully I missed that libc update that was broken and pretty much disabled systems, not that tossing in a liveCD and copying over a working libc would have been the end of the world.

Over the last week, my sound has gone from not working to working, and my blingy desktop with compiz gained the ability to play movies fullscreen without grinding to a halt, so woo! And things crash less.

Still, there are a few hazards. Hibernating is still kind of a crap shoot. It works, but usually sound and sometimes the wireless won't work when it comes back up. And my 'del' key still doesn't work. But I'm sure that'll get sorted in the next month. Gnome 2.22 was officially released so now lots of the software itself isn't even beta, but official release stuff. Now it's just Ubuntu that's "alpha", meaning the general arrangement of software and configurations. However it's in "freeze" just before the beta is released. So things progress.
