Yes, but after spending one hour downloading 650 Hoary packages, it
failed soon after starting to actually install theses packages, pages of
error messages.
Also, I prefer the Array rather than the upgrade, as it's supposed to be
more stable and sorted than the day to day upgrade. What I am interested
in is the milestones, to get a feeling every now and then, of how Hoary
is coming along. Typically, I would install an Array 'X', on a friday
evening, report bugs all over the week-end, then would stop
using/testing it until the next Array etc.
