Installing Xubuntu 6.10 on a PIII with 128MB RAM failed with anthy. So, using the Ubuntu 6.06.1 Alternate Install CD, I installed a Server. After the server was installed, the computer rebooted. Next, I edited the sources.list in /etc/apt and changed dapper to edgy as mentioned above. And then, I did the following (as root): apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade shutdown -r now Ubuntu 6.10 Release now installed! As root: apt-get autoclean apt-get install xubuntu-desktop After a few hours, I have Xubuntu 6.10 running. This process worked for me.

I think all of the information you post is needed to help people like myself who are new to Linux and Ubuntu make the transition. I had some problems figuring out how to use vi, but after reviewing your directions and googling some information about vi, I am now able to follow your directions without any problems so far. I'm upgrading Kubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 via your directions and it is running without any problems. I will definitely subscribe to your email list and RSS feeds. Do you have a podcast? I would like to request if you could publish a recommended book list for newbies who want to find out about Linux and Ubuntu in particular. I'm switching from OSX as my primary OS to Ubuntu and so far I have nothing but good things to say about Ubuntu. I've tried Fedora and SuSE and both do not compare to the ease and power of Ubuntu. I particularly like your site because you take the time to explain things. I read a few Linux magazines like Linux Journal and Linux Format, and Linux Format is the only magazine that is written with the new Linux user in mind. Long live Ubuntu!
