The Gutsy Gibbon and I: Almost together.

Gutsy's so close I can feel it.
This weekend I installed the beta of Ubuntu Linux 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon.
A few notes to myself, and just one bug:
- Bug: no matter how many Firefox windows I have open, they never begin to "stack up," instead spreading infinitely across the bottom GNOME panel. I never realized this before, but the act of stacking Windows up after a certain point keeps the the title of each window legible. I'm sorry I never appreciated you before, mister/miss Firefox-stacking-window situation.
You don't know what you got, 'till it's gone. - after install via upgrade, sound comes back muted. Not a big deal, but after you install Linux, you're paranoid about hardware not working, so for a minute I thought sound support got worse with Gutsy. You really had me going there, Gutsy Gibbon! But you merely muted me. Not funny, Gutsy. This isn't Punk'd.
- gnome-setup has crashed a couple of times. I don't know. I can't reproduce it at will, but it happens.
- (not a bug) but I still have to install a special driver to get graphics to work right on a Dell 700m.
