> Generally from viewing community discussion I've observed that 7.04 -> 7.10 has gone pretty darn well, except for the big, worrysome problems with Kubuntu updater, alas. Could you post links to this? Do things work better if one uses the Gnome updater with Kubuntu?

I ran into the same problem, but wow, it looks like it could have been a lot worse! In my case, the Kubuntu update manager would successfully get to the end of downloading all the new packages and then the OOM reaper would end its existence. Consistently. Watched with top while it just chewed through memory and then poof, gone. I decided to try the regular Ubuntu update manager (which, amusingly, I had to install first), and it worked just fine; thankfully it used the cache of the packages that had been downloaded already. It gave me a warning about doing a non-standard version upgrade, but I interpreted that to mean that it was updating the Kubuntu package set, not the "expected" Ubuntu package set.
