[Discuss] re: upgrade times

[Gary Gauthier]

Hi David,

I installed Xubuntu 8.10 from scratch the other day and found that trying to
install packages after install was reaaaaallllly slow.
Haven't tried again since.
So I believe your assessment of overload is likely correct.

Hope this helps.
Ttyl, Gary
