Thinking of upgrading to 11.04 from 10.04

[slashwannabe94]

Hello all,

I have been reading allot about 11.04 and it's new unity desktop interface. Some say it is riddled with problems and is power hungry to the core!

I was wondering if anyone could clarify this?

p.s. i love stability and strong support. These are the key things to me.

The only way to know how it runs on your system is to try it. Either use a live cd or usb stick. Otherwise, you'll just have everyone telling you how it runs on their hardware. If that's what you want, it runs fairly well on mine for a beta. Glad it's not my main OS, but it seems to get better everyday.

Edit: Remember that it will be much slower on a usb stick & even slower from a cd.

Hi!

I ran 11.04 on a usb stick from day one and decided to install.

You can change to the classic Ubuntu via..

system..admin..login

I believe you can also do that from the login screen. Just enter your name & password, then choose Ubuntu Classic on the bottom panel before hitting "enter".

you've answered your own question.

Stability, get that with all releases.

Strong support, of course your here.

Do you want support ongoing for 5 yr's, then stick with the LTS That's Long Term Support Release of Ubuntu 10.04, or what for next LTS EDITION release in April 2012. 12.04

If your happy with 6 months, upgrade to 11.04, remember its currently in BETA till the 28th of April 2011, then it goes WILD \\:D/ Errr is released to public

If you want stability then stick with the LTS releases. In any event, if you decide to upgrade to 11.04, I suggest you wait at least 2 months after the final release so that any initial problems are ironed out; the upgrade experience is likely to be better this way, in my opinion.

As a final tip, always make sure to read the release notes before upgrading any version to make sure there are no conflicts/issues that may affect your particular setup/hardware.
