I don't think you get a "Ubuntu Warranty" anyway... the warranty will be for the hardware side... and I've never heard of a hardware warranty that was invalidated by upgrading software... Regardless, if the "warranty" is protection against misconfiguration or whatever you'll get far better support from the Ubuntu community than you will from some hardware supplier call centre. Sean
