Upgraded Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx

Well well, I was kinda bored, and took the plunge last night and turned my Karmic Koala into Lucid Lynx.

The whole process took.. approximately 2 hours? To be honest I was a little nervous because I vividly remember my earlier attempts at such upgrades over the past few releases were not exactly pleasant.

But it turns out to be an uneventful journey this time! Once rebooted, I am greeted with the now-famous purple desktop.

All things well and dandy, everything seems to just work, and wow, I must say Lucid Lynx is MUCH prettier than I imagined. A long way since I first started my Linux adventure more than 10 years ago.

One thing though, I do not see the point of Plymouth thus far, and it doesnt seems to speed up my boot process compared to the past! And seriously, Plymouth boot screen looks kinda dull.

Anyway, I am in the middle of exam preparation this week, I’ll probably spend more time dissecting the system next weekend.
