Generally no, 8.1 was the best install, and upgrade of any Linux
ever for me. I upgraded my firewall/internet gateway, and it only
took me 1.5hrs to get everything going again; much of an
improvement over 7.2->8.0 upgrade.
I find it hard to resist upgrading components from cooker though,
and am quite happy with things at the moment.
