Upgrading to Dapper Drake

On June 1st, the latest version of Ubuntu came out. It was 6.06, Dapper Drake. I read that there have been a couple improvements implemented. I don't know the details, but I do know that they improved hibernate. I was waiting for my classes to be over, and today I took my last final.

So it's time to upgrade. I did a quick search, and came up with this blog. Since it appears that it would be a piece of cake, so I decided to go for it. I launched the Upgrade Manager and saw that it knew about the upgrade. I clicked to install the upgrade and accepted all defaults, although the only real choices you had were to continue and after the install you could choose to remove the non-supported applications. It took just over an hour to download and install the upgrade.

Now for the testing. I found that hibernate works just fine. I put it to sleep and woke it up just fine. I'll put it to sleep tonight and see if it wakes up tomorrow. I also know that it now supports WPA. I'm going to read up on that and see how to configure it. Since everything else in Ubuntu is a piece of cake, I doubt this will be any more difficult. Is it obvious that I really like this distro?

One thing that is different is my touch pad now has a scroll portion. I don't particularly like it yet. I'll have to use it a little and see if I like it better. Time will tell.
