Beta 2 of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx

Installed packages after the CD install:

1. Ubuntu restricted extras - to enable Flash in sites that need it (e.g. YouTube) and java-enabled sites (e.g. hearts.vex.net)

2. NTP package to update the time via Internet time servers

Kernel crash reported. I think I would need to disable ACPI in Grub during boot. From terminal window:
cd /etc/default
gksu gedit grub

then edit the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

with this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"
