         That Ubuntu should be called "bleeding edge"??
     More like blunted edge in my opinion but everyone should use
     what they are comfortable with.

     But my own system seems to be having problems with a fresh
crop of iso files incompatible with one of my computers the oldest PC one
and mine is a "Rolling Release" and the isos are issued to save download
of so many updates.  The OS is still updating from repositories.

         Bobbie - who is still struggling with configuration of my smart 
phone, as
one of my friends said a "smart-ass" phone.
     PS. the reason for the acquisiton of the phone was so that I can get
an appointment for Covid-19 vaccine.  Is AT&T paying for that requirement?

>>> *The Ubuntu team have issued a hot fix for the recently released Ubuntu 20.04.2 media. The new fix, called 20.04.2.0, corrects an issue where the Ubiquity system installer could fail to properly install the Linux kernel on a new system. "Shortly after the release of Ubuntu 20.04.2, on Thursday February 4 2021, a regression was discovered which means that on certain systems and under certain specific conditions the Ubuntu installer can fail to install a Linux kernel. This renders the system unable to boot. After carefully analyzing the impact of this regression, the release team took the decision to reissue images of 20.04.2 with a corrected version of the installer. These images are now available, versioned as 20.04.2.0." Details on the bug and affected Ubuntu community flavours can be found in this mailing list post. *
