<p>I updated Thursday night to Ubuntu to 13.10 with no problems on my 6-yr-old HP laptop, mostly while I was at Melton's. It was not quite a lights-out install. I had to approve keeping my edited config files for 2 services. I wish the install script would just keep edited configs and roll on.</p>

Was a seamless upgrade on 2 machines (64 bit). On one 8 year-old notebook that gets used heavily for Facebook etc every day (32 bit) everything froze up half way through. It seemed like the CPU became overheated during installation - was very hot to the touch. Could run a command line and top did not reveal anything out of the ordinary like a CPU spike. I was unable to get dpkg to release the sources.list file no matter what kills I tried, so did a reboot followed by live-DVD repair. The repair option is pretty impressive - found the broken 13.10 installation and fixed it while keeping all data files intact as well as the Doze 7 on dual boot left unharmed.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Seems to be a minor upgrade, I'm not seeing any real visual differences, other than a bunch of new lenses, which I don't really use extensively. New kernel of course, and latest versions of various apps. This leads me to think about 14.04, which I would guess, would be another minor upgrade, given that it's LTS. If that's the case, and I cannot see Canonical going ott on an LTS release, it'd make for two fairly boring releases consecutively, which is interesting given the recent releases that have been bleeding edge to the point of being sub-functional if not broken in some areas. I'm kinda pleased they focused on just getting things stable rather than going with the threatened move to Mir at this point. I recently switched my work desktop to Wheezy stable (bit of an overreaction I guess, I could've dropped back to 12.04 or so, but I've always wanted to try a Debian desktop) 'cos Unity was just breaking on me way too often. It'll be really interesting/surprising if they bring Mir in for 14.04.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">On the 32 bit version, Chrome still seems to be broken. This issue from 13.04 is still there: <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Although you can make it work if you try, it'd be nice to see a fixed version released.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Another issue that came up on one of my 64 bit boxes (although I don't think it's a specifically 64 bit issue) is too little disk space on /boot, so the upgrade failed until that was addressed. I had too many kernels in there and had to delete the old ones. I used this handy script that I've used many times on my Amazon Ubuntu servers:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default">dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r | cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>I see this as an unacceptable error on a distro aimed at easy installation, noob demographic. Most noobs I know would've run a mile at an error like that. Of course, if this was fresh installation, I would not have experienced this issue since there'd be no old kernels installed. But why on earth would there be a limit (and apparently a relatively low one at that) on /boot on a distro of this nature?</div>
</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Anyway, that's my quick first experience with 13.10 ... it works, a bit of a yawn, frankly. Nothing that jumps out at me to say don't touch this. Still a great distro for first timers, and even experienced users as long as Unity can hold it together under high user demands.<br>
