What kind of upgrade hell are you talking about? I have used several different Linux distributions, Windows, and OS X, and I have to say that upgrading Ubuntu has been by far the easist and least painful of them all. Because I was lazy, last weekend I finally did a two-stage upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and then 8.10, with zero noticeable problems. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "roses are reddish, violets are bluish, Chanukah is 8 days, don't you wish you were Jewish?"
