[Leaplist] Latest Ubuntu version 8.10

[Derek Konigsberg]

I just got an HP Compaq 8510w laptop, and tried installing Kubuntu 8.10 on 
it.  At first it seemed woefully unpolished (have Kubuntu 8.04 on my 
desktop, and no problems there).  But now, apparently due to the classic 
Linux "kernel of the week" game, 8.10 can't run for very long on this 
laptop without randomly freezing up.  I guess I'll just have to wait until 
the next kernel update.  (others have noticed this problem on my laptop 
model as well)

Until then, MS Vista 64-bit has been pretty much flawless, which I can 
live with because most of what I'm using this laptop for requires Windows.
