Karmic Koala

As you all probably are aware, Ubuntu 9.10 was released yesterday. I took the time to upgrade my server today, and boy, was it easy. And with a codename of "Karmic Koala", how could I resist running it?

If you are connected to the net, all you have to do to upgrade is:

~$ sudo do-release-upgrade

and follow a couple of simple prompts. The only nonstandard things I had to do was shut down proftpd by hand to allow the upgrade of libc, and redo a minor modification to my php.ini file.

It was all done in less that 20 minutes. Too cool.
