Based on what is currently available in the repositories, I have to say that the 2.6.32 kernel, and its associated programs, are a big improvement on -31. The graphics are a lot more stable, things that won't run in wine on -31 are working fine on -32, and sound is also much better behaved. I know there are going to be some bumps, crashes, etc in pre-alpha software, but I sure hope this trend continues since, at least on my system, the -31 stuff is pretty messed up.

Re: Lucid Lynx - initial impressions
Hey don't start this yet. I'm just starting to enjoy the beauty of karmic and here you are tempting me with the delights to be had of Lucid Lynx ( why does the name inspire the image of a geisha). Must try and resist at least for a couple of months.Originally posted by doctordruidphd

Yeah but at least it boots right. Shutdown seems painful at this point, though.We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. -- Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Lucid Lynx - initial impressions
Thanks for the update
I will start running this in a test partition once they upgrade the graphics stack (it seems to be stuck at the xame XOrg version as Karmic. I am looking to start using 3D accel with my ATI card via the open source driver!
By the way, we need a Lucid section for the Forum here!Comment
