I posted a message here yesterday describing my woes with 2.0
Since then, I received a few helpful messages that other people
might find interesting.

My problem with printing was a known bug, explained in a note
published a few hours after my message (to make me look bad, probably :-).

My problem with the window server (not being able to log in with killing
the window server first) was due to my use of MOTD's logouthook, which fixed
a bug in 1.0 but has undesirable effects in 2.0.

My problem with LockScreen is another known bug. Wait for the new version
of the program (which should come out soon now).

Finally, nobody who wrote me used News, so I don't know if other people
have the same problem.

Thanks to all who helped. Overall, I'd say 2.0 has not been too painful
to install (considerably less than a Sun OS release, in any case).
