I just plugged in a 40GB One touch to save /GenesAmandaHelper, /home, /etc, /usr/src and /root to so I have all my email corpus and custom scripts if there is room, then UPGRADE to F10, and if its as broken as the last F10 install I made on a sacrificial box, then install Ubuntu-8.04 LTS. I like to bleed and do my own kernels, amanda, heyu and a few others. The point is that I don't mind fighting with breakage if _I_ broke it, but to upgrade and break things just to keep up with the Joneses is getting old. Actually, now that I consider it, best I go get another drive, so the reversion is a bit less painful. And another video card if I can find one that actually works, 90% of the problem here is the still broken ATI HD2400 Pro support, almost a year after AMD/ATI gave us the specs to drive it right. Does anyone know of a well supported ATI video card that is A: still in the pipelines and can be purchased, and B: sells for less than a hundred dollar bill? I'm not a gamer that needs every last FPS he can get, but it would be very nice if I could watch tv from my pcHDTV-3000 card on it. If there is such a beast, I'll get both the drive and the card.
