Well, I did something I swore I would never do (major OS upgrades after 7 PM) I went from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 last night. had to leave the upgrade running all night as it took over 12 hours!!!! (about 2 hours for downloading, 10+ for actual install and clean up.)
Finally finished this morning but I have not had time to really sit down with it. At least I did not have any issues with Grub 2 this time around (probably because I had it keep the original config). One annoying thing I found, I was unable to find any Administration tab on Unity... It is probably there, but that desktop is definitely going to take some getting used to.
One thing I DID notice is that boot time (bios to usable desktop) seemed to be much faster then 10.xx Also, LibreOffice has replaced OpenOffice (no surprise, but glad to see it)
