As many of you may remember from my last upgrade, things usually don't go all that well for me, especially when I'm gambling with technology. A friend of mine at work has been encouraging me to upgrade to the latest flavor of Ubuntu, but given my past history, I've shyed away from the early adopter philosophy when it comes to Ubuntu server upgrades. Now that it has been over a month since the release of Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS, I decided to cross my fingers and dive head first into an upgrade on a Friday night.
