Ubuntu 9.10

Rate this Message:
Speaking of 9.10, I'm relatively new to Ubuntu (and Linux), as I started
using it daily at work 6 weeks ago. Is there a "normal" amount of time that people wait before upgrading? I'd really like to be using Firefox 3.5 without trying to install it into 9.04. -Tim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@... http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss |

I've got enough machines under my purview that I can install a new release on a couple rarely-used machines to see how it goes before I try and upgrade my workhorses. I always wait a week or so for the workhorses anyway, so if there are any egregious issues the workarounds are already established / easy to look up.

From the command line, just: $ sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-branding firefox-3.5-gnome-support -- Cole Tuininga Lead Developer colet@... _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@... http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss |

Would that upgrade my existing firefox 3.0 install or add 3.5 to my system
in addition to 3.0? -Tim On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 10:20 AM, Cole Tuininga <colet@...>wrote: > Tim Callaghan wrote: > > Speaking of 9.10, I'm relatively new to Ubuntu (and Linux), as I started > > using it daily at work 6 weeks ago.
