Did the Upgrade to 2.8. All went well. Currently contemplating if installing the hardware enablement stack would bring any advantage. But I think it won't do much of a difference.

Thanks for the upgrade, Jerry!  My 64-bit upgrade was very smooth.  After my update I started the upgrade and had breakfast.  When I returned, the maching was ready for a reboot.

The 32-bit upgrade on my Gateway LT40 Notebook was not as smooth.  I had screwed up my package list and it didn't have the LL respository in it.  After I rectified the situation I updated and then upgraded to LL 2.8 without any issues.

I'm pretty sure both my machines could handle the kernel upgrade, but I'm going to hold off for now. 

Cheers,
Andy N1KSN

Ran the update on the Thin , 64bit - smooth.. Still on the prev kernel, I may update it to see if any benefits.. But I'll save for another day.  8)
Thanks Jerry!!!

Thank you, Jerry!

Both 32 and 64 bit installs went smooth as silk today. My wife, who is currently working on her Masters degree in Psychology, noticed how snappy your system was this morning and had me replace Mint Cinnamon w/ Linux Lite 2.8...  She thanks you as well!

32 bit on both my netbooks runs wonderfully but where I've really noticed a difference is upon my 64 bit Lenovo laptop. Where it was fast before, it simply screams with the fresh install of 2.8 now.

We sincerely appreciate all your efforts!

Nice Job Wink

Installed 2.8 and no problems.

Hey didn't have to mess around with Java this time. Wink

Is it just me or does it start up faster?

Have done a clean install of LL 2.8.

After installing from live usb there were no updates available.

Is this normal.....?

System otherwise running fine.
