I was gutted that my Hardy Heron died two weeks before the release of Lucid. I swapped over to Debian, but use the LTS elsewhere. I treat other Ubuntus as Betas.

I gave Ocelot a whirl this eve, and it's much better than my experience with the 10.04 netbook edition. The window management is more consistent. It feels more cohesive.

Anyway after some initial excitement, I broke it without much effort.

I'd pretty much written off Ubuntu, but think the next LTS could be pretty good - if they iron out all the bugs, and listen to the community.
