For those downloading the .iso files I'd recommend using bittorrent. Their servers will be white hot for the next 48 hours.

Torrents:
i386:

amd64:

I have never had a an Ubuntu Live CD fail on me till Ubuntu 8.04. I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04. Allot of people are having problems installing Ubuntu 8.04. Go to Ubuntu forums and IRC. Live CD is causing most of the problems, and even the alternate CD may not work right. SATA drives seem to be a big problem with Hardy Heron. Also Dualboot issues. Windows not being recognized by grub. Nvidia driver issues to some extent. In my experience I would go to boot, but would get a (initramfs)_ blinking cursor prompt. Mdsums all ok, but no joy!. Would recommend anyone with a stable 7.10 box to skip this release. You may run into all sorts of problems, any you may not. It's up to you to decide. I got 3 cd coasters out of this upgrade!.

And that, my friends, is why I run teh Debian!

Every distro has it fair share of bugs and issues. A lot of it is dependent on your hardware and everyone's mileage will vary. For me, HH has been way smoother than GG every was. That's just my perspective.

I gave ubuntu a shot on a old laptop my parents use, i won't repeat what i said on lugradio http://forums.lugradio.org/viewtopic.ph ... 088#p41321 , i had no problems whatsoever with installing, good release.

I agree with Pat. I did a upgrade and it was by far one of the smoothest K/Ubuntu upgrades I have done. When I was over everything just worked.
