[ale] Ubuntu 17.04 Flavors ...

[Edward O. Holcroft]

I use the standard Unity flavor (happy to see the end of Unity though).
I've upgraded three machines so far, all desktops.

Machine 1:
Home use desktop tower 8 core AMD 16GB RAM. No issues. DHCP fine, encrypted
boot drive, access Samba shares all good. Of the three machines, this one
has the greatest range of odd multimedia software installed from non-Ubuntu
repo's, so I would expect this one of all of them to give me some trouble,
but it has not.

Machine 2:
Work desktop tower 8 core AMD 16GB RAM dual boot with Debian. Samba, DHCP,
printing etc all good. However, this machine freezes up every night (I tend
to leave my machines running) requiring a hard reset. Still need to see
what's going on.

Machine 3:
HP work notebook i5 16GB RAM, dual boot with windows (but on separate
SSD's). Random total freezing, cannot get to a prompt or even ssh in,
sometimes within seconds of logging on. Sometimes will run for hours or not
freeze up at all. Still need to check out what's going on.

In a nutshell, typical Ubuntu desktop experience for me ... never quite
sure what kind of mileage I'm gonna get. Why do I keep doing this to
myself? I wish I knew.
