Ooooh! Only about 28 packages to go, then I'll find out if it all goes horribly wrong. I can hardly wait for the opportunity to spend several days trying to fix everything. Or, I might try to break another computer instead.

On the subject of breakage, the recent update of Android Market has effed up the thing on both my phones, so I think it's them, not me.

I think it must depend on which mirror you get, or perhaps the time of day. I've set my dual-boot MacBook to get 11.10, but it's only using about a tenth of the possible bandwidth.

Currently upgrading on my netbook as that is what unity seems to work best on... 11 hours remaining...

At least I don't live in a field.
Only took an hour on my netbook.

I like Unity, and it seems to be maturing nicely.

A lot of people seem to be having a fall out with 11.10. Is it just unity causing it? I know I fell out of love with Kubuntu with 11.10, but since I think I'm the only person who was using it...

And it's also why my netbook hasn't been "upgraded".

Was talking with a chum yesterday and after updating to the latest Ubuntu he installed Fedora over it. Seems he had a falling out with Unity.
