Intrepid Ibex is out with a promise of whole new desktop experience. As I am spending most of next few weeks travelling, I don't think I can type the magical incantation and upgrade my ubuntu laptop yet.

Usually I hookup to the Internet using a slow Reliance Broadband netconnect datacard while on road, its good enough for some blogging, browsing and shooting out emails, but not much more. But even those with higher bandwidth lines shared their scary upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 experiences.Certainly I think the release process did got out of control. Darn! I don't feel intrepid enough to make this upgrade.

Perhaps I'll wait until the pre-ordered CD from shipit arrives on my doorstep.
