Comment 26 for bug 251107

and Alberto, you do an awesome job ! there was no dissatisfaction with your work regarding this, it was the absence of statements about this problem and concerns about how to know if we should upgrade or not if we have a working accelerated driver in hardy.

This is really frustrating as the new 8.10 appears to be the very best release I have seen, I actually booted the live CD and installed 8.10 RC on a computer with only 256 mb ram and a celeron 600 CPU. I really wanted this release on my old notebook that has an Nvidia card and would have loved to use the new wireless networking.

Someone needs to post and let the world know that 8.10 uses far less memory at run time and requires far less memory to install.
