I finally upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 , I was tempted to do it on the day of release but sanity prevailed. A few months after the release, most of the bugs have been worked out and my installation was relatively smooth.

I had to download about 500MB of updates which took a while, and the install process was smooth until it failed with 4 minutes left. But a bit of Googling soon fixed the problem, I had to repair a few packages and then resume the installation.  I have not noticed any gound breaking improvements but I have read reports that wireless support is greatly improved.

The part that I am most happy about is the fact that I did not have to format and re-install in order to upgrade to 8.04. I was considering moving back to XP but with this upgrade I am going to stick to Ubuntu and see how it goes.
