I don't update my Ubuntu during 6 months between releases. It's easier for me to format HDD and setup everything from scratch in one day. When you do automatic updates, or release update without reinstallation - the strange things could happen. I always had to fix something with my hardware after updates. When it was 7.04. That's easier for me to not upgrade my system when everything works, then be like "Aahh. Not again :(". And spend half a day for fixing.


That's funny when guys in forums complains: "OMG Help! The system won't start after update!". And I'm always want to ask: why do you need that? Backup all data and do a fresh install when you got a time for that. And If you don't - just let it be. Upgrade later, when you'll be ready to spend a time, if something will go wrong.

I'm currently running ubuntu 9.10 karmic , and i know that 10.04 is
coming out this week.

I'm currently in the middle of a project, and I'm not sure if Rails
still works with 10.04.


Also, do i lose all my database tables, files, ruby, rails, etc if i
update? Thanks
