The Lucid release seemed to me to be unusually error-free for the things I
do.  I started with beta-1 on my main machine when my hard disk died.
Everything restored nicely from backups. I got a few crash messages the
first week that didn't actually have a crash associated with them.  After
that it was remarkably smooth sailing, except for a couple of days in there
when I couldn't burn cds.  (Thanks, Lucio, for pointing me to the bug!)   Of
course you want to fix the location of the window controls to where they've
universally been for the last 15 years.....

I've been doing my family's accounting on Lucid and gnucash for a month now
(many generations of backups and the data is actually on a SMB server) with
no problems at all.   Call me irresponsible.

I think Ubuntu and Linux in general have matured to the point that new
releases are more evolutionary than revolutionary.  I don't care at all
about the new social networking stuff they've added since I use my computers
to do work and not for games or social activities.  The core functions were
all there and working a couple of years ago; they're carried over to alpha
and beta code for new releases and there is not a lot of risk in using
late-stage betas these days unless you're an engineer designing the bridge
I'm going to drive over.
