A word of warning (from someone burned).
Don't try to upgrade your fs to ext4 if already on ext3 (and say
upgrading from 9.04) - or at least wait until one of your friends has
done it successfully. Clean install on ext4 is apparently okay.
I upgraded 9.04 to 9.10 first, did the ext4 migration steps from ubuntu
wiki. 9.10 booted up and had to perform fs maintenance, and launched a
recovery shell and a login concurrently on the same tty, getting fsck to
run was a challenge, rebooted, shortly after the fs started aborting and
went readonly - a reboot and subsequent fsck started complaining about
corrupted superblock and group descriptors, and after recovery my /etc
landed in lost+found and I had an unbootable system.
I may well have done something silly (like doing the tune2fs ext4
migration steps but accidentally not changing to ext4 in fstab) although
the kernel should refuse to mount or detect it is ext4, the software is
in a early stage of unforgivingness with many rough edges - and the
recovery shell and upstart was decidedly broken for me (a shell and a
login running at the same time - with keystrokes going to both).
Before I attempted the fs upgrade though, I must say it did look nice
and booted really fast and looked sexy, etc, etc.
Back on Debian Sid now :)

I'm try to download from this ntuoss site, but It seems slow
now (not
my internet access problem),
Maybe two many users from Singapore are downloading from it
right now?
mirror.averse.net <http://mirror.averse.net>. was out of date due
to some changes in the upstream canonical mirror structures last
week. fixed and should be syncing up now.
