Yeah I just noticed this release. So is anyone using it. Do you think it is worth the upgrade. Is it any better from the previous version?

Dont know about ubuntu but I went from debian etch (installed on release day, never updated) to debian sid (current) (i believe each release of ubuntu is based on a snapshot of sid) and it braught a lot of improvements in hardware compatibility and stablity, especially on laptops

Yeah... new kernels seem to work wonders on laptops...

newer kernels = better laptop battery life too
(they changed the way it "ticks")
why not download 7.10 and then burn + try it out in livecd mode and if you like it, then upgrade (i think you can do that from the cd?)

Yeah, I might do that bennet, it's just that I'll have to set my system up again, i.e configure the graphics cards, user accounts, printers, LAMP, media players.

I don't get what you mean? Doesn't it wipe the old system?

dont think so.
I went from one version of redhat to another using the CD and didnt lose any of my users or home directories, so i assume debian-based distros are the same.
