Feisty Fawn

Got the Fawn today. No problems so far. On restart, it kept my external monitor also, which normally I was having to cycle via the laptop.

The upgrade process was simple, but annoying. Don't believe the 1.5 hour estimate, since that is based on you sitting in front of your computer and answering each of the popup questions. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bagging on the super-simple upgrade process. Just that I was wanting to get back on to work on some code for EPUC... And I kept checking in every 30 minutes and having to answer a very simplistic question. But, it is nice that I had the chance to answer the questions! Windows upgrades are never this nice.

So, just do what I did and start in the morning, check-in periodically, and go for a walk! Do some healthy stuff and then pull up a chair at your other computer :)

You know, now that I think about it this computer can do more stuff than my Win XP desktop could do... better audio support, better dvd support, and a much better file system interface. Things that are still troubling me are the trouble I had setting up Eclipse, and some other dev tools. I think that will be my next step down the road of enlightenment... Upgrading Eclipse and NOT using the standard included Eclipse due to silly GDK stuff.
