16.04 sad release in my experience and from what I've read many others also

[Dookus]

2.8 has given me 4 days of good performance on the oldest saddest machine I have,

Genuine Intel® CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz
4 gig ram
Intel 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller

After dealing with common problems such as unable to build list when attempting to update (Chromium problem, remove chromium from the list and updating list works in Synaptic or system updates)

Kudos to the guys developing this distro, the simple intuitive interface and the effort placed into making it a windows replacement works for me, it's what I've always preferred.

Keep up the good work!
