From what I read here it seems that 10.1 was not, on the whole, an improvement over 10.0, mainly because of the updating problems.
Okay, I'll state it again. 10.1 is better than 10.0. Everything (with the exception of Zen) just works.
As a laptop owner, I am very happy with 10.1 - far better WiFi and USB support than in any previous version that I've tried (9.2-10.0) on the same machine.

Reall? You must not be using a built in modem in you laptop, or at least not a 'AC7 Modem' as in my IBM T-41. There was a driver for it in 10.0 but was removed in 10.1.
I have a modem? :) Seriously, I've never tried to get it working. I haven't used a modem in a few years now. I have no idea if there is/was a driver in 9.3, 10.0 or 10.1 However, removing a modem driver (which can be downloaded and compiled from somewhere I presume) doesn't break a system, IMO.
What Laptop are you using?
Dell 600m and a Gateway m280 TabletPC. (The tablet PC is currently experiencing "issues" as apparently Windows XP did something to GRUB, but that's for another post.) -- kai www.perfectreign.com
