Ubuntu 8.04

Posted April 23rd, 2008 at 9:31 PM by twirp
Ubuntu 8.04 is coming out tomorrow!
I've been playing with the Release Candidate at home >.<
It's pretty cool and is a major improvement over 7.10
So I'm hoping to upgrade Tails to it within the next few days... Assuming no horror stories come up between now and Sunday.
Wish me luck and for no errors...
I'm hoping the fact that I compiled some stuff that they now include doesn't break anything, but I'm backing up all the stuff on it at the moment just in case.

Dan likes Ubuntu? I might have to switch to another distribution then :P

It was almost painless upgrading. It took a lot longer than expected though. I'm guessing everyone was upgrading at the same time so the servers were slower than usual. It said 35 minutes to download, but it took 3.5 hours . After that it was pretty quick and almost painless. It kept prompting me to overwrite files, and I wasn't too sure if I should or shouldn't.
