Breezy was a breeze

Last week the Ubuntu folks released their latest version, which had the code name "Breezy Badger". A few weeks before I switched my Hoary box over to Breezy, just by changing the sources in my apt sources list, and letting apt-get do its thing. I expected the upgrade to be painless since that's been my experience on the various Debian boxes that I am running. One thing that I didn't expect was the the sound on my Shuttle box started working after I did the upgrade. I didn't even have to re-run the installer.
Ubuntu may be Linux's saving grace, at least in its' latest iteration. Distro 5.10 is somewhat more sophisticated than 5.04 and certainly better than the current SuSe release. This can be safely installed in desktops, provided that there is admin control and the user goes no further. As for AMD64 based systems, they are not yet suited to the casual user.
We are experiencing somewhat of a revolution, understated by the more experienced users.
5.10 = Breezy Badger
