So I just upgraded from Edgy to Feisty using the Update Manager. I wasn't planning on upgrading just yet, but fears that my software updates and support will become lacking I decided to do the upgrade.At first glance everything seems to be the same, my settings, customizations etc. One thing I did notice is my boot splash image that looks much better now. I have a HP laptop with ATI graphics and the boot splash images was always a bit off, the palette was all wrong etc.
My laptop is one of those that just would not install Ubuntu out of the box, my monitor was blank all the time, I had to boot with some custom boot option flags to force standard VGA to actually do the install of Edgy Eft. Since I used the standard Update Manager upgrade I can not comment on the current installation process regarding Feisty Fawn when you have to install from scratch.

I did an upgrade on the latest Xubuntu and a fresh install on Ubuntu. Seems I always hit some snag after an upgrade - in this case, it was an issue with the HSDPA card that I couldn't get working straight away. The fresh install process is really simple and streamlined - takes less than 15 minutes!
