aka Ubuntu 8.10 was released today. And even though I wanted to do a clean install on the weekend, I ran the update this afternoon. I was lucky, it took only one hour, so I still got my train to Munich. Up to now everything is fine, so I won't trouble my weekend with the new installation. It's nice to have a properly running distro again. After all this mess with Hardy, which I found a pretty disappointing release, especially for a long time support. For me the hardy kernel 2.6.24-xx did not even boot, I tried some things suggested here and there and then gave up and run the system with the old kernel from Gutsy. This had some other unfortunate consequences related to libgphoto2 which was not working properly with Gutsy's 2.6.22-xx kernel.
Phee, it's over, everything is running clean!
