There have been mixed results to the OS upgrade, so it's probably worth listing what we installed, and if we have trouble. I have the following software:

maemomapper
gaim (AOL protocol)
xterm
becomeroot
gpe calendar, contacts, todo
gpe summary
statusbarclock
fmradio

All this worked before the upgrade, and it works now. The backup restored my repository list, so the re-installation wasn't to bad. I used the windows software.

Youtube is much better (but still needs work), and I can now watch movies using media player. I hope this helps someone.
