Back when I got my very own netbook, the first thing I did was installing Ubuntu 9.10 NBR on it. The experience was phenomenal: Just about everything worked out of the box with a few minor exceptions. So I saw nothing really stopping me from upgrading to 10.04 when it finally arrived last Thursday.
Well, nothing except for the Austrian mirror hopelessly hammered by requests and therefor unusably slow. Since I had to get up at 0500 in the morning on Friday, I had to skip the update and hope for some more speed on Friday afternoon. Well, not so much. In the end I just went with the main server and managed to update the system. It took a couple of hours but there was virtually no user interaction required (which really helps when you try to play MW2 at the same time ;-))
