I’ll be posting a couple more parts to this I’d imagine (that may turn into just 1 other part 
don’t hold me to a definite number).
So Ubuntu 8.10 was released to day – as always, downloads were slow, websites went down, torrents were seeded, the usual (yes the forums went down too – in fact they’ve just come back online 
).
I’ve in the middle of installing Intrepid on my laptop as I write this, so far it looks nice, not to different visually from Hardy when you first boot the live CD, but there are some differences that I think are noticeable when you finally get around to using them.
Anyway, I’ve got stuff to be doing and /home directories to be restoring, so I’ll post back in a few days when I’ve been running Intrepid properly!!
