Also, a tiny footnote probably of interest to almost no one except the geekiest among you . Fractint.net and fractint.org were down since yesterday evening until an hour ago because I am compulsive about updating, and I saw that Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS was available. I ran the do-release-upgrade script that is supposed to be an in-place upgrade, and when I rebooted apache2 was running. This would be fine if I was using apache2, but I am using nginx, and all my web sites were broken. I thought everything was truly hosed. but once I managed to purge apache2, nginx was magically restored, and everything worked. I still have a few minor things to repair that have probably been there for a while.
Last weekend, I tried updating-in-place the two Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installations we have here. On my wife's laptop with stock Obuntu, the update went smoothly. Restarted her laptop at the end - and had no network connection. At all. Restored the 16.04 partition image and everything worked fine. On my laptop, the upgrade failed partway through. I use 3rd party repositories to get KX Studio for my audio work, so that's what made the upgrade fail. For now, sticking with Ubuntu 16 until they fix a few things. Fortunately, I don't rely on Ubuntu for production work. Debian's much more reliable IMO. -- David W.
