Re: [PLUG] Canonical dropping support for LPIA as of 10.04!
|
I switched from Ubuntu 8.04 lpia to xubuntu 9.10 x86 on my dell mini 10. Part of what inspired me to do it is I wanted the webcam to work with yahoo messenger with gyachi, which works quite well on 9.10. I have, however, noticed quite a difference in the power consumption. i was reading that ubuntu mid has good lpia support. Is ubuntu mid offered in a 9.10 version? How about 10.04? Will ubuntu mid continue to support lpia?

Bummer for Mini9/Atom users. Sure, i386 will also work, but in theory
LPIA would work *better* a nd last longer on batteries. No upgrade path
either from LPIA either, clean install only! :-(
On the other hand, "... Further, on investigation, upgrades to Karmic
are not recommended due to the limited maintenance performed on the
release..." explains my vast problems upgrading LPIA 9.04 to LPIA 9.10,
as noted previously on this list.
See:

Maybe it'll be a good thing, if LPIA support was really that bad (and I
certainly think it was/is bad in Karmic)...
Later,

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
