I had awaful trouble going from 6.06 to 7.1 via the "upgrade" button - but
having done a blank canvas install of 7.1 - it's been (fingers crossed)
lovely and stable for quite some time. I've been playing with 8.04 on a 64
bit box since it was in beta and with one problem - it's worked quite well.
If anyone can help with the following - that would be good - but I'm quite
happy with it.
The problem is either during boot or shutdown - blank screen. It did have
quite a bit of trouble with my graphics card (nvidia GeForce 8400GS) - but
once it's actually in X - it's fine.
Cheers
Rob
