After six weeks of Ubuntu 8.10 trials, I get reports of many customer trepidations of Intrepid Ibex.

I was (and remain) an avid Ubuntu fan. However, the constant tinkering with modified Linux internals brought back memories of Slackware days in the last decade of the 20^TH century … when much of my hardware investment was innaccessible – dilligent research and development advanced some, but not enough, into utilizing those precious packages of phenolic and silicon.
