Pumpkin Seed HQ

I just updated my notebook with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS via the Desktop CD. I never had an easier and quicker install and it only took me about 2h to set up my complete development tools. There are two little hickups. One is that NetworkManager, which is a great tool btw., does not update the icon cache on installation and thus does not start up. Manually updating the cache fixes that. WPA, WPA2 etc. all work out of the box. The other problem is that SMB shares are shown in Nautilus but browsing just produces odd error messages. SSH etc. work as expected. Overall great job and a nice platform to work on! As developer I especially appreciate the thoroughly chosen settings the developer packages are compiled with, no need to compile my own versions as I would need to do in crazy Gentoo land.
