What kind of upgrade hell are you talking about? I have used several different Linux distributions, Windows, and OS X, and I have to say that upgrading Ubuntu has been by far the easist and least painful of them all. Because I was lazy, last weekend I finally did a two-stage upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and then 8.10, with zero noticeable problems. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "roses are reddish, violets are bluish, Chanukah is 8 days, don't you wish you were Jewish?" _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
