Re: Final check on F10 comments/testing
Folks -
I have learned that at least some Thunderbird configs swallowed this
message into their you-know-what filter. I'm wondering if that's the
reason I saw *no responses* at all to the question. I'm resending the
message below in the hopes that this version will appear more
palatable. I'm trying to get Karlie and Todd the best advice possible
from our Fedora-OLPC community on how the final F10 releases are
looking. Thanks.

Folks -
I would like to give Karlie and Todd at On-Disk.com some sense of
the testing and user community on the F10 release. Could everyone
please comment on their experience using the latest Preview release
and Jeremy's most recent boot script?
I'll start <g> by pointing out that I'm still concerned about the
usability of this release. I've spent this morning trying things
out, and I continue to get assorted boot-time failures (hangs) maybe
half the time. When I do boot successfully things seem fine, but my
wireless network connection keeps dropping and I can't launch
FireFox at all. I realize I'm doing intermittent tests in the
middle of doing a lot of other things, so user and/or environmental
errors may be at least partly to blame.
It would be very valuable to hear from other folks who've been more
active who can look at the current release and let us know what you
think - thanks!
