[dundee] Automatix & Ubuntu

[Lee Hughes]

I've always had success with automatix..

but then again, I try to avoid bleeding edge disto's (gentoo excluded ;-) ).

it's always tempting to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but if it aint broke dont fix it. My systems keeps asking me to upgrade to ubuntu 7.xx , like it's kinda a walk in the park.. I politely said now...

it a shame you can't check point the file system, and the roll it all back if it goes tits up.

concerns on how it could break the system. I have not had this as I use
it for only a few installs, preferring to download the proprietary
codecs and programmes from the main or 3rd party synaptic repositories.

I am just letting you know in case anyone has had problems with this.
