I'm not sure why, but Ubuntu 8.04 and my monitor (an eMachines E17T4W)just don't look right. There's a noticeable flickering, blurriness and font color change that I can't stand to look at on what used to be a sharp clean LCD monitor so it's back to Ubuntu 7.10 -- and the 211 updates that took several months to get -- now downloading! 😐
