Normally when a new release comes out, a lot of people like to start over with a fresh install.
There are 3 reasons for doing it this way:
* Distro updates sometimes work, sometimes fail and at other times they “sort of” work leaving you with a system that is not as snappy as it should be or has some other trouble which was not there before the upgrade.
* You just need to backup the home folder and you are good to go, even that is not required if you have the home folder on a separate partition.
* Installation takes about 20-30 minutes, all of which you can spend on Facebook/Twitter if you are installing using the Live CD.
This time around Ubuntu 10.04 is touting some great UI and design changes. Moreover, this being an LTS release, there are all the more reasons to go with the fresh install route. So if you decide to do so, come the 29th, here are some of the Ubuntu applications that you might want to install on a fresh Lucid Lynx install.

If Linux's threat that so many business have M$ OS's on that there's a real threat from terrorism by creating a virus that can bring the world to a stand still rather than with a bomb everyone needs to install this as a matter of national security

But yes other than that really impressed so far with what Ubuntu has to offer. One thing that impresses me is that out of the box 99% of is installed and ready to use and considering the diversity of machine thats impressive in itself.
I'm only new to Linux but I think I'll get on 10.04 right from the off on a machine thats not in a working environment and learn with everybody else as it develops.

It spent hours downloading about 1.6GBytes, then as part of the upgrade process, told me that my network applet couldn't function any more and deleted it
However, it installed a (better) replacement, asked for my WPA key again and everything is running nicely.

Having said that, all new releases tend to get a higher number of patches etc

Quote from: Steve As a newbie myself to ubuntu what put me off was the releases every sixth month
The need to upgrade every 6 months is probably driven from a M$ POV. If you are happy with your current release then there is nothing to stop you keeping it for the next 18months (the length of time security updates will be available for it). Or 3 years if you go with a LTS version. A lot of people stay with LTS versions because of this. Others like the "churn" of upgrades every 6 months (myself included) If you want to be really up-to date then try Debian's SID release, it is constantly upgraded
Open Source Software is very fluid in updates, the GUI (Window Manager) is usually updated every 6 months and so newer "features" are included in the new version, but mostly they are not a cause to upgrade just to get a new widget
There is nothing wrong or bad about running an older release, it maybe that your hardware will not run the latest version and so you stay with an older one, like when Ubuntu 9.04 changed the X manager and it broke a lot of installations. As long as you can get security updates and you are happy why upgrade? The old axiom of don't fix it if it ain't broke comes to mind.
Take me, I am not a newbie at this, so I thought I would install FF 3.6 from the stable PPA. It installed then promptly fell over! So I just removed the PPA and re-installed 3.59! I can wait another month till Mint 9 is released to get it

Quote @Average Smiley You might be interested to know that I did an upgrade via wireless from 9.10 to 10.04.
It spent hours downloading about 1.6GBytes
Out of curiosity I have started downloading the desktop i386 torrent from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors because last time the download was corrupt from Ubuntu, torrents MD5 it when finished just wondering why the 1.6GB? The version I'm currently dloading is only 700mb am I on the right version?
I thought it would help take the pressure off the servers if I helped to seed aswell.
