New install of Ubuntu Netbook Remix Lucid 10.04 on a netbook: Asus
EeePC 1005HAB.  Have been running Lucid for a little over a month now.
 It had a few hickups here an there, but mostly ran pretty good.
Detected all hardware without issue, even an external USB bluetooth
device.  Pretty nice.  Using it now to write this post.

I have a laptop with 8.04 that I will have to try to upgrade sometime
in the near future.  But no hurry.  8.04 is still working good enough.

My recommendation is to try Lucid and get familiar with how it does a
few things differently, e.g. grub, window buttons on the left,
yada-yada-yada.  Once you can accept the changes or know how to work
around them, then do the upgrade.
