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

[Andrew C. Oliver]

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.
