To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade?

Ubuntu 7.10 is due to be released tomorrow (18 October). I have been using Kubuntu 7.4 (the KDE version of Ubunto 7.4) for six months now. During this time I found that this Linux distribution is a very stable, user-friendly and beautiful system. In the last two months the new 7.10 version has been finalized and some test versions were made available for brave users. Of course, I tried the Alpha and Beta versions. I was a bit disappointed, because many packages that I used were not part of the distribution and internet connection was problematic.
The worst was that upgrade required me to format my Linux partition and each time I had to restore my files. I hope that the official distribution will be kind enough to allow me to keep my partition.

So, I think I'll upgrade my Kubuntu to 7.10. Come again to see if I recommend to do so.
