I’m relatively new to Ubuntu installs on laptops. I just installed 8.04 on my Tecra M3 last weekend, and it was easy. The OS is solid too. I don’t know what 8.10 is going to change from an already useful 8.04. But I’ll upgrade anyway.

I upgraded yesterday from Heron. I have a laptop that I use to play with Linux distros.

The upgrade process went through w/o errors, but I did have a series of issues within my primary profile that caused me to have to create a new user account. It wasn’t a show stopper for me, but would be for another person. My Heron install was pretty vanilla, so I am not sure what went wrong.

Either way, I am enjoying Ibex. It feels a bit more solid and, yes, the wireless and networking component makeovers are quite solid and useful.
