Running U_10.04LTS on AMD965 etc.
I believe U_8.04 was the last time Ubuntu **tried** to create a self.administering system for the casual-Linux-lusr.
May I repeat that phrase -- casual-Linux-lusr... it's who most of us are!! We have **real** work to do and no talent, time, or interest to become a foamy-mouth Debiolian or Slackmolian coding GURU!
Since U_8.04LTS (Red Hat 6 w/o the fedora) it's been all downhill from there dicing between unintelligible feaux MAC GUIz and randomly functioning hardware support. Took them six-months to get U_10.04 working and never did support the temp chip on my MSI mobo!! They have just given up, pretending good faith, primping and fauning and double-talking without giving out ONE BULLITPROOF SOLUTION!
BTW: I've recently had to jump hoops getting a digital camera and scanner to work, and must return to Window to enable function for a common-as-beans voltage DATALOGGER. Where is the support app that should be common as a word processor? ...mercy...!!!
