Haven't tried upgrading Mythbuntu 10.10 yet but am running Ubuntu 10.10
on a couple of non mythtv machines.  The upgrade was painless but
encountered a significant problem with the exchange plugin for
Evolution, it's partially working in 'proposed updates' today.  The
calendar is working but mail isn't visible (work around in place is to
access the mail via an imap profile).  Searching via apt-file also
didn't work for me until I installed the proposed updates (and then did
another 'apt-file update') this morning.

On a slightly different topic, after moving a PCI card away from beside
the heat sink of my silent Asus GT220 card the temperature seems much
better, I haven't seen it go near 60 degrees again while idling
(typically around 55 now).  Will have to wait and see what effect summer
temperatures have on it.
