In the past, turnaround time for getting Ubuntu images up has been very good, as in they have an image ready the day it's released. I do know they are doing tests with the betas now. Hope that helps.

Do you have a strong need for something in 12.04? ie, why jump on it on day 1? Give it a couple weeks or, better, months and let others work out the bugs.

I'd wait for 12.04.1 or at least close to it.

I am already running it on desktop, no issues at all in 2 weeks and I am not the facebook/twitter/email/news user type. I do some python, some java, db management thru pgadmin, OpenERP etc...

I dont see any reason why I would wait out. I also have access to Canonical employees (hackers).

Strong release & Strong support network I think I can safely give it a shot.

Maybe he's one of the "others" you speak about. If everyone took the approach of waiting we'd get nowhere. Cheers to you Mobidoy

Same here - so far the beta has been rock solid.

I'm one of the others on other machines, not my linode running "production" websites.

Linode could easily be one of his "other" machines. I have an "other" machine for testing purposes on a Linode with a database that would need to be backed up too; and it isn't production.

Someone's eager :P you know you can upgrade via apt, of course you should clone your linode first and try it on that since there maybe unexpected oddities.

One of my servers is at Ubuntu 9.04 so yes, I was eagerly awaiting 12.04 LTS with the 5 year support :) I would transfer everything over to another linode before switching permanently.

oh damn, 9.04 that's been dead a long time, and you can't upgrade via apt very easily, so you have two options, wait for an official image (probably be a few days) or install 10.04 and upgrade to 12.04 via apt.
