Remember, Lucid is an LTS release. This will have four big side effects: - Generally fewer new features (Though rumor of Gnome 3.0, and pushing for a 10 sec boot is kinda scary) - Fewer Alpha releases - Two Beta Releases - Two weeks of RC release instead of the usual one.
Next release already has the controls in place to be more conservative.

Meantime, I think focusing on getting an early polishing to Lucid as a preventative measure would be a good idea.

I personally upgraded three computers to Karmic without any issues (Actually the jack sense on my work computer's sound card wasn't working in Jaunty and it works now in Karmic). Anyway, it doesn't seem like a common issue, I have only seen a few cases of upgrade fails, and in most of them it was the users "fault" (using apt to upgrade for instance). > > Best regards, > Natanael. > > > Thanks, > > Thanks, -- Mohammed Bassit <webceo...@gmail.com<mailto:webceo...@gmail.com>> -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com<mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
