<div dir="ltr">As long as your 7.10 installation isn't too customized, the migration to 8.04 should be painless. I've migrated 3 laptop installs this way and the only issue I had was with Eclipse, which simply needed a reinstall. However, if you can get away with backing up your files to another PC and performing a clean install, definitely go that route.<br>
<br>Another advantage of 8.04 is that it's a "LTS - Long Term Support" release. From my perspective, using it at the workplace, a long-term support release is paramount. I could care less about my home laptops.<br>

Has anybody out there upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 recently? My<br>
machine's update manager keeps taunting me that there's a new major<br>
version, and I'm tempted to use the "automatic" upgrade.<br>
<br>
More generally, does 8.04 look pretty stable these days? I had heard<br>
about some problems with it early on, but haven't been paying that<br>
much attention lately.<br>
