Gutsy Gibbon - Don’t Go There Yet!

I recently published how I had added Ubuntu to my box, and am now running Linux with the best of ease. This weekend, while learning the system better, I got an update notice. It seems version 7.04 is outdated, so Feisty Fawn is to be upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon. Well and good, I thought. New stuff is good…
Surprise! Did I ever make an error here! I let the automatic updater do its thing, which took all of Sunday afternoon. Upon attempting to use the OS, I ran into a ton of troubles. I couldn’t connect to the internet, and no matter how much Google time I spent, couldn’t find the right answer. So, finally on Monday I decided to try to reverse the process, and get Feisty Fawn back. With a lot of screwing around I was able to do so.
Gutsy Gibbon was only released a couple of weeks ago, and it is fer shure that they don’t have the bugs out. If you are running Feisty Fawn successfully, then wait until the bugs are worked out of the new release before attempting to install. You’ll thank me later (unless your a masochist!)
Peace,
Charlie~
