Finally moving to hardy

Well, long time but worth the patience. I am finally upgrading to Hardy Heron alpha 2 release. Yeah it says that it is an alpha release and hence I should not use it on production machine. Mine however is more than production machine. I have my all important stuff in here including my ongoing assignments. I just wished that they are all blown off and no questions were asked by the profs :).

Anyways the process of upgrading is right now on and I am waiting for it to complete. But couldn't help writing this post as the up gradation is going on. Two ways you can have Hardy alpha release on your machine.

  1. Download the ISO file and burn it on a CD and make a fresh install.
  2. However if you are already on Gutsy, you just have to hit ALT+F2 and type gksudo "update-manager -d" with quotes. Be patient as it'll take some time to pull the hardy repos and upgrade it. BTW, don't forget to upgrade your copy of gutsy before upgrading.
Amazing naming convention of Ubuntu, which I already have talked about in my previous post. I was wondering what would happen when the alphabet reaches Q, X, Y etc.

Keep the hope alive and get Ubuntufied....
