I never got around to posting about this, but I’ve been using Kubuntu as my primary OS at home for a little while (Kubuntu is the KDE version of Ubuntu). Anyway, I took the time to perform the upgrade this weekend to the latest version, 7.0.4, Fiesty Fawn. Overall, the upgrade went well, with the exception that I lost wireless connectivity. Since this computer only has wireless available as a means to connect, this was actually a pretty big problem. I struggled with it for a while and after reading some posts on the Ubuntu forums, I was able to get it working again.
