Hey guys, this is the first version of Ubuntu that I've been using so far (8.04), I'm excited about the new Intrepid Ibex release in (?) days time.

My question is, how does one upgrade to 8.xx of ubuntu? Do I just wait for the automatic system update or do I have to reinstall from an .iso?

Thanks a bunch guys.

u can wait for system update, but imagine dl few hundreds of mbs of updates! hehe if u really wan2 go for 8.10, get the iso, n do a clean install. tats the less hassle, less issue way

For me, I usually download the torrent for the alternate CD (around 700mb).
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt

I tried using the system update once but big files and streamyx doesnt mix well

Here the step by step guide
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-u...ktop-and-server

can't get madwifi to work on intrepid ibex with network manager 0.7 .. even with the preinstalled linux-restricted-modules the wireless portion says its disabled..but using iwlist it shows the APs that are available

you can always try ATL+CTRL+backspace to end the session

sounds complicated like some PS2 cheatcode

Press L1, Circle, Triangle, L1, L1, Square, L2, Up, Down, Left, L1, L2, Triangle, Square, Square, R2, R1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, R3.

tat might sound complicated, but when its total system freeze its the safest way to reboot

which is a testament to linux being good.......i have not had to chance to do it yet.....most i did was kill the session

i think my notebook is having heat management issues.

i can run tons of stuff but once firefox runs flash.
it cannot last more than 12hours.
i leave it on, goto sleep, wake up it turned off by itself.

windows with ie7 will continue to work, though, i've a feeling it is due to windows dumb nature that it is overheating the hardware but not knowing it.

im afraid tats not the case, in windows, flash run with little processor effort. but in linux n osx, flash can use over 50% of cpu power, thus ur cpu need to run at higher speed when flash is used.

poo kee mah adobe
