Ubuntu 8.04 and keeping fingers crossed for good luck

I'm going to be upgrading both my machines fresh here.  Then I have to do the same for my
Xwife who I still admin for.  I really hope I don't have to fight a ton of bugs.  

The only bugger she will have is still using MVware.  Wish it would just figure out new
kernels so she didn't have to re-run install script :(

Anyway, I have had mostly very good results with u/kubuntu. The OS on this is dapper and that
says a lot!

best to all,

I'm guessing you mistyped MVware.

VMware is currently not in the Hardy partner repository because it's virtual network driver
(not open source) conflicts with the new 2.6.24 kernel. So it will fail to install even if you
install it manually.

Just an heads up.

I decided to give VirtualBox a look and it works for me (and it's open source).
