| Was just released today. So far today In had a least 2 customers request me format their hard drives and put Ubuntu today due to the 9.10 release. Not to mention all the disk I been handing out. |

| Presuming there is an existing installation, wouldn't an upgrade be better? |

Running the upgrade right now, not really sure what improvements come with this.
My major peeve is the LXDE desktop looses my wifi connection, or that there is not
an open source second life viewer in 64bit.

If your processor is 64 bit, why do you need something as lightweight as LXDE?

Because some people (myself included) appreciate blazing fast software, even if our machines are capable of running heavier software at tolerable speeds. Also, LXDE has a much cleaner, less cluttered feel than heavier bloated environments like KDE or GNOME.

I run it to annoy people who ask stupid questions, and since its running on a older laptop, LXDE runs blazingly
fast on it compared to the other desktop environments
