Thanks for the heads up. I am still at 8.10 on my work machine at home.
Time and the early adopter's fee are two reasons I haven't upgraded to
9.10 yet. Usually after about a month I'll take the dive. Like I said
though, I can't wait, I've hear some really great things.
Thanks

And I hear that 9.10 that came out recently is really nice. I can't wait
to upgrade.
I would wait one more week for some additional bug fixes to come out. I
upgraded three machines and one of them ran into issues during the install
somewhere a long the way and I could only boot into the command line. I
was able to address the issue with apt-get update/upgrade thankfully.
Note the issue is documented as a ticket and has a high priority. Again,
it only happened on 1 of 3 machines so YMMV.

You have not needed ndiswrapper for unbuntu since 7.10. I have 8.04 on my
laptop with a broadcom chip and no need for ndiswrapper. And I hear that

Do you have any specific examples of which drivers for which device? I
haven't had the same experience of it being a big issue as you have,
though we may just be using different devices.
Broadcom wireless chips for one. Dell uses broadcom wireless chips for
their in house label ... and the only way to get those to work is to use
ndiswrapper.
Many video cards cause problems also. ATI & NVidia both require you to
jump through hoops to get their proprietary drivers to work. Ubuntu has
addressed this pretty well, but Fedora certainly hasn't.
