I played with Ubuntu for a few days on a new Dell desktop I bought several
years ago, but that wasn't long enough to try a version upgrade. I _have_ done
that on SLES several times, and it usually just worked for me. There were
certainly some problems in some cases, such as when the transition to using
/dev/disk/by-{id,path} happened, but prior to and after that it's been pretty
smooth sailing.
