[TriLUG] Feisty was a b*tch of an upgrade

I started out on 6.06, upgraded to Edgy and now to Feisty. Edgy was a
pretty painless upgrade with only the swap issue being kinda irritating
and requiring effort/thought/google.
Feisty disabled X windows for starters... For some reason I couldn't
get either the free or proprietary ATI drivers to install after this
(this may be partly me as for some reason I occasionally block on
something even if I've done it 100 times)... I ended up having to copy
my stuff off to another drive and do a re-install from scratch, then the
video STILL didn't work until I manually installed the proprietary
drivers and used an old X configuration (I'd tried that before the clean
install too).
All in all FUN to do right before a conference. I never did get my or
any other projector working again! So I did LinuxFest on OS X....Ian
would be proud.
