I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 ‘Hardy Heron’ six months ago. My hardware devices like graphics card, audio, keyboard, wireless card, touchpad, and webcam are now functioning well after applying a series of fixes, and I’ve got all my essential applications installed. I’m really at peace running Hardy on my Macbook Pro that I have never touched my OS X ‘Leopard’ for the longest time.


A few days from now, Ubuntu 8.10 codenamed Intrepid Ibex will be unleashed. This upcoming edition will have new features and innovation that will surely encourage non Linux/Ubuntu users to try it. But to those who have just upgraded several months ago and have a flawlessly running Ubuntu desktop just like me, is there a need to upgrade to Intrepid Ibex? Since I’m still undecided, I want you all to help me out with this one. You can answer our poll question below, or just share with us your thoughts via comment.
