Upgrading ubuntu is slower than just a fresh install.

And since fresh is better than refresh, it just makes sense to reinstall every six months. If you are a distro-nut like me.

Does that include time spent downloading the new iso from overloaded servers and burning it to disc?

I did download it and upgrade from iso rather than do it from the servers. I didnt burn a disk. All you have to do is mount the iso and it acts like a cd

Yea, I'm about to reformat. I've had TONS of trouble with this install, I think something went wacky. It's behaving like it's got M$, and I don't know if thats curable. I'll give it a shot though... :P
