Upgraded Laptop to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy

Well I took the plunge this morning and upgraded my Dell D820 laptop from Gutsy to Hardy. Many thanks to fellow Ubuntu NM LoCo-er protonchris for building a new version of vpnc that fixed vpnc timing out every 5min. All in all the process went smooth, i opted to upgrade by downloading the alternate CD and upgrade from it. I only ran into a couple issues. First less than impressed with the new Pulse Audio sound system. The sound quality is less than perfect but I expect that this will change with time. Ipod issues. It seem that I can't use my ipod with any other app (i.e. banshee, hipo, etc) until Rhythmbox Music Player sees it first then other apps can see and access the ipod.

All and all a painless upgrade.
