I just put Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. Ubuntu 9.10 installed smoothly.I like all the improvements so far.The startup window is better they added a name base log in so all you have to do is click on your user name then enter your password. My wireless works right of the bat so if your thinking about upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 or lower feel good about it I'm sure you will love it. One thing I love about Ubuntu is its getting better all the time.
