I upgraded my home server from 10.04 yesterday. 12.04 hasn't caused flames
to erupt from it, yet! The upgrade went perfectly, nothing broke.
I've not tried the desktop release as I think Unity will break me.

Absolutely. I've been rocking it on my desktop since the beta.
To the point where last night I dual-booted my work laptop and finally
had a day in work without using Windows... It felt epic. :)
Suffice it to say, I am quite impressed with the release quality. Though
you would typically expect it from an LTS.

Did you do a network upgrade, or did you do a clean install? And are you
running Apache?
I have a VPS running 10.04, and will be upgrading at some point. Last time
I upgraded, I did a clean install & re-configured, but it would be much
simpler to do a network upgrade if it won't break Apache.

I gave up on Ubuntu a couple of releases ago. The graphics went wonky
and I could not repair it or go back to the original configuration :-(
So, I haven't used that particular drive since. I aim to run Mint on
it instead which I have tested via the live disk.

How are you finding the HUD interface?

I've always found Ubuntu's LTS to LTS upgrades to be flawless on
virtualisation servers, LAMP servers and, to a not-quite-flawless extent,
on desktops too. They're always in-place installs over SSH but I usually
make sure I've got console access, just in case something goes very
wrong. I wouldn't even think about doing a clean install unless you were
planning to move hardware/VPS suppliers.

Thanks. I'll do an in-place install, then. Won't be any time soon, but it's
good to know that it shouldn't break anything.

Hello,
I have done an in-place upgrade on one my old web servers LTS to LTS
and it worked perfectly. I had to adjust the sources.list but I'm not
too fussy about that.
