From Intrepid To Hardy

Well I've gone back to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). It's not that I don't like Intrepid (8.10), quite the opposite - I love it, even the NewHuman theme has grown on me. Now I'm back on Hardy, I miss the darkness!!

The reason I moved back to Hardy - and back to a 32 bit install - is because I'm starting back at University, and my touchpad kept breaking (amongst other things). I can't really afford to have a laptop that does function fully while I'm studying, it's just not practical.

I may install it in a VM at some point, and I know I'll just install it when it's at the RC stage, just to beat the crowds :p

Unfortunately, I had some issues with my /home partition (I have it separate). So I had to format that too, luckily I have an rsync backup (I had 1 for Intrepid and 1 for Hardy) on my server. So I install gftp and grabbed all the stuff I wanted from there Now all is back up and running smoothly, I don't think I've missed off any app's that I had installed previously!
