Upgrading the computers (again)

Homeschool day 44 of 180
Government school day 35 of 170 ***students not in class today***

Edgy Eft, the new version 6.10 of Ubuntu Linux came out today. It sounds great and I would like to make the leap, but really do not have the time or need to make the jump. There are a couple of things I would like to have, but can either live without or get by upgrading individual packages. I have installed the new 2.0 version of the still fabulous Firefox web browser on all our computers at home already. Everything else can wait.  With a new computer coming in the next few days, I will have my hands full.  The plan is to turn use the new computer for all the Windows-only programs (World Book Encyclopedia and Rosetta Stone Spanish) and turn the old computer into a headless (no monitor) file and print server.  That all should be fun, interesting, and educational, but it all takes time so I am having to pick my battles to get the most impact.
