Finally found the time to upgrade from Ubuntu Heron to Ibex today... well worth the effort! When a distrib enters this stage of development, updates are not so much ground breaking, as just smoothing the edges.
The upgrade also meant that I took a look at some of my old nags and found that a couple of them had been lifted;
Google Toolbar AMD64 support had always been a two-fold niggle. It wouldn't propegate the Google Bookmarks and also would not store web history. I use both pretty heavily so had been previously been relying on a third party extension to access my bookmarks. Turns out that a new beta version of the toolbar has now been released and both these issues have been smoothed out.
Flash 10 AMD64 support was a big deal, and I had been having to use the nspluginwrapper to allow an i386 version to run in the amd64 browser, eww. Again, Adobe Labs put out a prerelease version 10 for AMD64 earlier this month, which so far has been working flawlessly.
