I just ran the Ubuntu update for the day. A new release of the kernel and another new version of Firefox.
Frankly, I've moved to Google Chrome, since Ubuntu seemed to be getting slower and slower. I've not had that complaint with Chrome, though I did add the FlashBlock extension which prevents a lot of unnecessary advertising from chewing up CPU in the background.
As for the Kernel, there are some fixes to the ext4 file system I committed to when I installed Lucid, and the ecryptfs encryption module that I have decided might be a safe bet for encrypting my personal, business and backup data. The challenge now is to see if I can recompile the ecryptfs module on the Rackspace cloud server I've been using. I did it once, now let's see if I can do it again.
Oh and if you've been reading this block in the past, you'll see that I've been struggling with OpenOffice crashing. It still does, regularly if a document is showing a graphic on a page when I swap between applications. Not nice, as some of the documents I've been doing are pretty graphic intensive. I will continue to try and resolve this...
