This is my second time upgrading my Ubuntu. Last time I was upgrade from Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) to Hardy Heron LTS (Ubuntu 8.04). At that time it was successful. I was upgrading ubuntu (not a fresh install). It took very long time, may be around more or less 27 hours to complete. WOW… It’s was so long. Thank to Indra for his kindness provide me his bandwidth for free. Even I’m already install many application at that time, but I don’t find any errors after upgrading at that time. Everything was good. I just need to re-install modem and sound for that new kernel. After that, everything was normal.
Now, the new Intrepid Ibex is coming. This is new version of Ubuntu 8.10. It’s time for me to upgrade. But, many of my application are not coming only from Ubuntu, many of my application already mixed with another linux application. So, I’m trying to upgrade my ubuntu at the moment. I try to upgrade rather than do a fresh install. Even my Ubuntu seem already slowing in speed and it seems like it need to re-install again. The problem was actually because I don’t want to re-install again, I was hoping after I upgrade, It will speedup my Ubuntu.
So, I was try to upgrade my Ubuntu last Friday. After I started to upgrade, I found that I need to download 1960 packages. WOW… It will take very long time to download. You can find the progress after 16 hours of download here.

Here is the progress after 16 hours of download. Wow, still long way to go…
