[olug] Ubuntu 12.04 problems?

[DYNATRON tech]

awesome.

i never have the patience to save a failed upgrade, but i enjoy a good tale
from those that do.

would you recommend skipping the november upgrades and wait for LTS?

i prefer debian myself, but i service a lot of ubuntu machines. for
clients, i disable distro upgrades just to be safe.
