I intend to run the 8.10 version in a virtual machine first. Always best to test a new system before deploying it live. However, not many people are seeding the Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 DVD, which I am downloading via bittorrent from LinuxTracker.org. Kubuntu 8.10 AMD64 has already downloaded and had a lot more seeders. I will try that out too when I get the chance.
