I just upgraded to the new version of ubuntu. Not only did I not purchase a DVD, I didn’t even use one. I simply opened the package manager and selected ‘upgrade’. The new release then downloaded itself over the wireless network I’m on, installed itself and rebooted. No glitches, no extra drivers to install, and so far nothing’s stopped working.

To date, that’s the most painless major release OS upgrade I’ve experienced. By a landslide.

PS…The OS seems noticeably more responsive.
