Maybe late on the comments on the upgrade from feisty to gutsy but I did a full network upgrade on my amd64 machine and it took about nearly 3hrs to download all the packages. Came back later and had to use CLI and use dpkg to complete. Everything well very well including the new kernel all in place, rebooted flawless. Most people new to the command line need a little hand holding but its not that hard. Great work by the dev team. I use both .deb and .rpm aka Red Hat Fedora, but found great stability and satisfaction in the .dep distros.

I also experienced a smooth upgrade, approx 1 hour to download, 2 hours to reinstall. Fresh reboot and finally my wifi worked with nm-applet. This is an old AMD64 laptop.
