Ubuntu 7.04

Refreshing Ubuntu

The new Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn) is out. I used the built-in upgrade facilities to get the new release. After 2-3 failed attempts to get the full upgrade started, I finally got the pleasure of watching the download progress bar telling me that I had some 3 hours to wait. After downloading all the new packages and applying the upgrades, it was time for a reboot (the new version has a new kernel version as well). That's where things got interesting. The menu.lst file for grub no longer looked right. It turned out to be looking for the root device on the wrong partition... Windows still booted fine. After trying a few combinations of drives and partitions I got it back up.

Some Icons have changed but on first glance I didn't see all that many changes. I guess I will discover some as I go a long.
