I needed to upgrade a remote server that was running Dapper to Lucid, as Dapper is no longer supported (or will soon be EOL'd). This server uses a software RAID 1, and that seems to be the problem.
I tried to do this over the network via ssh in a screen, however after it upgraded to Hardy it failed to boot.

I did my duty and upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy, after letting Hardy settle for a while. For the most part it was painless (unlike the last upgrade to Gutsy!).
Unfortunately the sound was now broken I have a HDA-Intel AD198x Analog chip set.

My current development system is Ubuntu 6.06 using an Athlon 2500+ Barton processor and an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard and 1GB of DRAM. It has been pretty stable, and relatively fast, but it is about 3 years old, and I like to upgrade when I can at least double my perceived performance. (ie I have to notice the difference, not just going on specs).
So I decided the latest hot system seems to be based on the Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, and I like a quiet system so I decided to build one spec'd out by Silent PC Review. The one in particular was SPCR Model One: Modern General Purpose PC.

OK it was time I upgraded my main development workstation from a highly modified Redhat 9 to something more up to date that actually gets security updates and has a good package manager.
I have been using Ubuntu for my servers for some time, and like the package management, but I am used to KDE now and don't really want to switch to Gnome on my workstation. So I decided to try to upgrade to KUbuntu.
