Dependency Hell
Today I almost went back to Windows.
Started out the day in Ubuntu 8.04.
Tried to upgrade to 9.04. I had a lot of problems with my graphics card. Also, I couldn't install icepodder. Who knows what other problems there are, I gave up at the point.
I thought I'd give Mandriva a shot next. I installed the latest and greatest. Everything was fine until I went to use the Amazon MP3 downloader. There are 4 linux versions, but none of them are working with Mandriva.
So back to Ubuntu I came. I grabbed 8.10 and that's what I am using. Everything is working fine. Hopefully the 9.04 issues (especially those related to my hardware) will get ironed out... else I will be stuck on 8.10 forever.
