Upgrade to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope

Today I upgraded to Jaunty (64 bit) on my dektop. The experience was quite easy to do and the process only took about 2 hours.  This may have been shorter if a reboot was not required.  There was no mention of anything going wrong, but after the reboot I was faced with a dialog box that said it was only a partial upgrade.  I continued the upgrade and after one final reboot everything seemed to be fine.  I have not had much of a chance to play around with it but I can say that I love the new notification system.  After a history of glitches during prior upgrades I was hesitant to perform an upgrade vs. a fresh install but I will continue to enjoy the features of Jaunty Jackalope until the final version is released.  If you were planning to make the upgrade I would recommend it.  I will post more later if anything becomes an issue.

Update:

  I have had mixed results with Jaunty Jackalope. Overall it has been a pleasant experience. I have experienced plenty of crashes and bugs but I find I cannot go back to Intrepid.  I have recently learned that my intel video card is now better supported with the newest kernel and newest xorg, but I cannot seem to get it working that good in my installation. I originally took the upgrade path due to lack of installation from the live cd. Ubiquity kept crashing at the partitioner.

  I have tried the live cd and everything works out of the box. Video playback is very good and scrolling in firefox and synaptic is very fast. Trying this in my hard disk install is quite different. I am not sure if it is a conflick in packages or maybe some configuration files.  I think it may be time to format my home partition and start from scratch again.
