Left it downloading and installing overnight.
This morning it just worked.
I like the freshen up it gets everytime a new release appears.

My EeePC is up and running with 9.10 netbook remix out of the box, no pfaffing. Got to say, I like the look of it too (and I mean the aesthetics), much more attractive, imo, than 9.04. Now I just hope it works as well!
Oh, a bluetooth browse of my mobile (obex) STILL doesn't work! It got knackered around 3 or 4 releases back and hasn't worked since. Small price to pay though.

Its come on alot, after my teething issues everything works to an extent. Have ahd one or two crashes when trying to do something, one was running virtualbox and another was after running some sort of 3D game. I`m suspecting its the ATI gfx in this laptop, as AMD/ATI no do not support it with current drivers i`m kinda left in limbo till the open source stuff gets better. In all honesty though, if you are thinking of making the switch from windows, linux is worth the chance. No faffing around much with drivers such as you do in windows.
Just to add my Epson SX515 wireless printer works as does the scanner side of it as well However not using wireless, as this printer also comes with an ethernet port, makes life far easier.

A few people on the Ubuntu forums are reporting problems when updating from 9.04( myself included), After upgrading the system works but wont shut down, as was the case with Mrs's laptop. I have just done a clean install and all worked well!

Yes, I know. Well, not about you but about the other reported problems!
It was the same with the upgrade to 9.04 too, though the upgrade path went cleanly for others.I think I ended up doing a clean install for 9.04. It's also a damned site quicker. I have all my data in separate partitions so I can clean install pretty easily. I just like to take the upgrade path if possible.

I run Win2k in VirtualBox for similar reasons.
It is, in all seriousness, a weak area for unix; you just don't have the selection of software. And companies are developing their interface apps only for the Windows and, if you're lucky, Mac. Where there is an available app, is often not as feature rich as the Windows alternative.
