So I am right now running Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid” in my workstation. In general, the update was smooth, but I have a word of warning: if you use OpenBox as window manager in the GNOME desktop environment, it will stop working. If you try to log in from GDM using the “GNOME/OpenBox” session kind, you will be kicked back to the login screen. As a workaround you can execute openbox --replace from the “Execute” dialog from a regular session as a workaround.
