I have a laptop running as a mediaplayer, have had that for a long time, the last weeks, maybe more there have been some trouble. The hard disk is starting (loudly wining up) sometimes more than one time every minute, sometimes less. Every time this happens the computer is lagging, looking at movies was only annoying. Tried to reinstall on the same hard disk and after an difficult and troublesome d-u I got the computer updated but the problem with lagging and hard disk wining up was still there.
I know, i didn't post about it here so I can't say that I didn't got help.
Then some days later, yesterday, i decide to try with another hard disk, ssd. I knew that it would be hard to install so I tried to update the installer before installation but that made the live session crash in to a shell where it was not possible to use the keyboard so I had to install with the installer on the iso. (xfce 64 bit, latest release). The install is working as usual but then doing d-u was a pain, after maybe ten stops with errors and apt-get -f install it didn't work anymore, the d-u failed and I gave up.
So now I'm running a non sid (Sparky Linux) dist on one of the every-day-used computers for the first time in many years. The lag is not there anymore and I can watch my movies again.
I will probably reinstall that computer again after a new release of siduction but for now I feel it's to much hassle to install with the old releases.
I want to point out that this is no complain and I know that all of you on the siduction team are doing all that you can, I also know that I'm free to choose what distro I want and so on. I only want to tell that the lack of newer release made me choose another distro this time, probably and hopefully only temporary.
