"In accordance with the principles of doubthink it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. A hierarchical society is only possible and the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society of the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact". - George Orwell's 1984

GEEK - 99% painless

So I've been meaning to do s dist-upgrade under Ubuntu for a week or so to install Intrepid Ibex (8.10). My last in-place upgrade to Hardy Heron didn't go well and I ended up doing a reinstall from scratch. This time however, it was simple as. Only a few probs (Some IO-APIC error on boot but it carries on normally after that, the usual problems with graphics drivers though these were overcome very easily with the default prompts at the first boot, and VMWare not working as usual though this is down to kernel dependencies and I've resolved that often enough that I should be able to sort it again). The cool thing is, the whole upgrade was basically click a few prompts. I've actually put more effort in to writing this blog entry than upgrading the OS. So rock out...:-)
