[OCLUG-Tech] Re: Linux Digest, Vol 61, Issue 3

Hi Charles

9 10 has its issues :-((

I recommend going back to 904 its much more stable and supports card better.

I know of three people who have made that choice including myself.
Better to wait for 10.04 and even then at least a month after the initial
release.

You could take a look here maybe:
