switching: none; i'll switch once the final is released.
testing: i'll start testing it in a separate installation or under vmware once the preview is released.

I'll put it on a test partition and run it from that location.
No, I certainly won't be abandoning Hoary anytime soon.

I'd say Hoary is the most stable thing I have on my box right now. :)

I'd love to keep as up to date as some folks can. Dialup is...not condusive to that end. :) I'm crossing my fingers for a by-the-end-of-the-week arrival for my Hoary shipits. Really though, I sure just would love me some Ubuntu.

I just got my CD's this weekend and I'm not that far from you (Midwest US).
They should get to you soon if you ordered right upon release.

Hoary has been the most stable thing to ever run on any of my computers...

Already using it :)
It's been great so far. Nothing broken from my perspective.

October is when you can switch over, but for myself, I am switching over 2 weeks after it's released, I'm not going to jump in when it's a fresh duck to the new grounds, in my eyes, I wouldn't get a new car if it just came out, I'd get it 6-7 months later, due to serious issues it might and could have, basically the samething with Breezy, fresh ducks don't always walk correctly when they are first born, they're gonna fall constantly until they can walk right ;)

Wait for the recalls :)
I never ride new themepark rides for at least a month or two for that reason.
And if it's a limited time/seasonal ride? Oh well.

It's a given that things will break. And often.
That's how these things get developed.

It's too early to see any major shifts but they will be coming.
Fasten your seatbelt. :)

I'll probably set up Breezy as a test on my other comp in a few weeks when i get time off work, but im in no hurry to abandon Hoary, in fact, i havent even broken it in yet. :P

I'm looking forward to it.
I'm not much of a coder or anything, but I look forward to finding broken things and trying to help figure out how to... un..broken them :)

Give it time ;) you will see new packages coming in that are libs and will see an affect if and when you reboot.

But to be honest, when I used it when it was first mentioned on the forums, it took on WW3 on my desktop, wow was it terrible, but that was a few months ago, so the development has got to be better :)

I've been running since repos opened....nothing majorly broke except usb.......so far...I always check the forums before i update each day though...just to make sure there's no "omg breezy ate my hd" posts....Kind of dumb doing that as I could be the first person to experience the bug but it makes me feel better...

When the RC is released, so I have time to do the inevitable playing and breaking before the Final.

Just like Hoary.
