I've only got one Xubuntu machine left to upgrade now having been
running the release candidate of Ubuntu for a few days on my other
machines. Dunno if I want to join the queue or wait a few days for all
the fuss to calm down - I suspect the latter might be the sensible thing
to do.
As for issues, none to speak of having upgraded 3 desktops and a laptop.
I think one of the desktops needed a tweak to accommodate the swap from
bcm43xx to b43 wireless nic driver, but that was about the sum of it.
