It took more than three hours to download and install the upgrade over the internet.

Ruby and Rails still work. Firefox works. Couldn’t find BBC radio stuff. Lost wireless connectivity (ndiswrapper) and network icon in the notification area. Working on to restore the wireless card and BBC stuffs.

Update:

Found Totem Player and click on the top right combo box to switch to BBC or YouTube plugin. It works great.

For the wireless card, I had to go to System/Administration/Hardware Drivers and download the Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver and activate it. It also needed a reboot after driver installation.
