Never really noticed this before, but this weekend I did upgrades of the Ubuntu installations in my household to 11.10 - AND changed tires on my car from summer tires to winter tires (may not matter much to you, but in northern Europe it can make quite a difference). A really good "sudo" experience... :p

What a brilliant combination of software upgrade and hardware. And with the Ubuntu roadmap and release cycle, I will likely be changing tires when 12.04 pops up... :cool:

...this was not to start a "if Linux was a car"-like discussion thread, maybe more a " will I need to buy a new car, to upgrade Windows?" thread... ;)

I wonder what changing headlamp bulbs would be like...

Heh!

We first started seriously in Linux with a SuSE 10 install that ran our CAD some 35% faster and saved us from having to buy a new computer that year, and for two successive years.....

Was that a new carburettor? or a Turbo? <grin>
