7.10 Update

Things are very stable since I upgraded to version 7.10, named Gutsy Gibbon. Wireless internet seems to be working just fine. I also installed Samba so that I can transfer files between my linux PC and other computers in the house. Aside from installing the necessary packages, all I had to do to get it running was create a Samba login for myself.

sudo smbpasswd -a USER

where USER is replaced by my login username. Then all I have to do is right-click on a folder and I can share it with other PCs, just like in Windows.
