I also stopped it showing all my attached drives on the desktop, as I think it’s a bit messy.

The upgrade process took a little while to download and install all the new packages, but once they’d downloaded everything seemed to go smoothly. I must admit it feels a little bit slicker, but that might be due to some other reason!

Firefox 3 is certainly a big improvement. It’s a LOT more responsive, and it seems to use a lot less memory! Generally, it seems much better.
