I’ve just upgraded to the new Ubuntu version, and I have to say I’m thrilled so far. It has fixed many of my earlier problems. For instance, it’s much more responsive than before, because the new Intel graphics driver is so much better. Before I couldn’t play most 3D games, but now I can. I can even use Compiz! And everything feels much snappier because it has removed delays when hovering buttons opening menus, switching windows and even just opening tabs! The user interface has undergone a graphical overhaul which I find really pleasing with new icons and themes, new login screen etc. And finally the forward and back mouse buttons work in the nautilus file browser without doing anything

There has been some trouble getting Mobile Broadband (Mobilt Bredbånd) from Telenor working in Linux for some time now. But when Ubuntu 9.04 came it seemed promising for those who have had problems before. Everything needed is included at install time. But you have to use some non-default configurations when connecting. All you need to do is plug in your USB-dongle, follow the wizard and when you’re done, edit the connection settings. You need to add Username and password (both are the telephone number for your sim card). Write “telenor” as the APN. I entered the PIN too, but I’m not sure if it’s needed. That should be it. Hope it helps!
