[ubuntu-za] Intrepid Heron - Hardy Ibex

[David Robert Lewis]

Hi lee, 

thanks for being there, I've just found some good advice at
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/133620-stuck-between-hardy-intrepid.html

and it seems to concur with what you say, so I've gone and changed the
repos to intrepid and have started a dist-upgrade (sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade) which is busy running. So holding thumbs that this will
make sense to the system at some point and I will end up with a 100%
Intrepid.:) will keep you posted.
