    Post Is it the right time to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10?

    All,

    Is it the right time to do a fresh install of 11.04? I started loving Ubuntu (presently has 10.10) now-a-days and wants to see how new version looks like.

    Will all features of 11.04 support my hardware? ( HD 40G, Intel 865GSA Mother board, 1.5G RAM )

    if you can wait lets say a few weeks:
    the main bugs will be fixed
    the servers less busy

    For God's and for Heaven's sake:

    WAIT - WAIT - WAIT

    I just did the upgrade. First it took the whole night for the system do download all he files, which is not actually the critical point.

    What really is critical and deadly is that the upgrade de-installed the nVidia Video card driver and the system now boots into a black screen.

    I have absolutely no idea, how to get my laptop up and running again!

    So again: WAIT - WAIT - WAIT!!

    I will post a new tread about this topic, It looks like I am not the only one, who boots into a black screen.

    I completed a clean install last evening and all went well. No major issues that I could detect in 2 hours. However, "anything flash" sucked. Dropped back to 10.10 this morning and I'll monitor progress on the flash fix ... hopefully.

    I agree that certainly there will be lots of load on the download servers.

    Where can I track the latest release bug fixes and can be assured that everything looks good for a clean install.
    Smile with Ubuntu
