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?

Jump to PostDont 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
Jump to PostYeah... new kernels seem to work wonders on laptops...
Jump to Postnewer 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?)
Jump to Posti thaught it kept all your stuff?
Jump to Postdont 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.
