Maybe. Now I think that this should be the way to go. >> Now that you say it, maybe I should start earlier. > > Well if you test your problem machine now, you will then have a positive > or negative basis for testing 10.04 on your other machines in September ;) > >> I run 10.04 at home and on my laptop and it seems pretty good so far.

Also a laptop could not suspend more than once (since then fixed).

Now I actually am leaning towards trying Lucid on this 12 core server. You convinced me. I have a nifty Hardy install disk that takes all guesswork out of setting up production servers. It works as "insert disk, specify hostname, press ENTER and go". By the time support person comes back, the server is fully installed, configured and, if this is a rebuild of a known server, all our apps are reinstalled and all temporary files restored from real time backups. I would have to redo the disk part for Lucid. i
