Tried to upgrade to Ubuntu machine to 6.10 last night by doing the source list change thing. I guess I messed up somewhere, because today my Linux machine shows a Kubuntu boot screen for a few seconds before crashing.
I’m relatively sure that someone with knowledge could fix this. But I’m going to chalk it up as another lame newbie mistake and reinstall. I’m more amused at the total chaos that’s been caused than upset.
I did notice before trying to restart that Firefox has the real logo now. I didn’t expect Ubuntu to go that way.

Yeah, I’m glad that Ubuntu hasn’t gotten all annoyed at Firefox for the logo licensing, as it’s really a silly debate. Most of the arguments boil down to people not being able to work together reasonably … both groups were being a bit retarded about small details. The Ubuntu guys seem to be more focused on the end result (the distro). At least for now …

Is it still in t he basic repo, or did they move it to nonfree/supported (I think that’s the “restricted” repo)?

It’s still in the main repo, and part of the default desktop. I’ve upgraded my laptop (but not main PC), and am finding FF2 horribly useful. Spell checking in my browser!
