Upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10 now, before the rush

Oct 152007
 

I usually don’t upgrade an OS but I saw this on Digg and figured I would give it a shot, just for the heck of it.

When Ubuntu’s Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) is released on Thrusday there will be a mad rush to download updates and ISOs from Ubuntu’s servers. This article will explain various ways to upgrade to the latest and greatest by avoiding to download rush.

    I received several errors and it aborted half way through the upgrade. So I ended up with a Feisty-Gibbon hybrid! However, I had backed-up. ;) Hopefully this won’t happen when I do a clean install of it when the official release come out.
