Ubuntu Tutorials help you get ready for Intrepid

as of the day the post was written

Christer Edwards over at the Ubuntu Tutorials website has started doing a series of posts on getting you ready to upgrade or install Ubuntu Intrepid, especially since the Release Candidate is due out tomorrow.

Yesterday’s first installment looked at network upgrades, first checking to make sure your desktop system is as up to date as possible under Hardy and then starting the move to Ubuntu 8.10.

Today’s post hasn’t gone online as of this writing, but now’s the time to subscribe to Christer’s RSS or ATOM feed so you can get the updates automatically. Just remember, this gets you software currently undergoing development testing. While the big bugs should be squashed by now there’s no guarantee that you won’t have an issue. Before you apply any of the upgrades to Intrepid make sure you read the release notes so you can see if any of the known issues will apply to you, as well as any workarounds you may need to perform. The hair you save may come from your own head.
