| Can we just update to the beta like we would on a normal system, or will there be incompatability issues? |

There could be incompatibility issues (mostly dependent on the kernal version as far as I know -- andLinux uses a modified Linux kernal). After saying that...back when andLinux used Edgy I had successfully updated it to Gutsy "manually."
You can see this thread for our experiences with this. |

I'm on it now.
I installed ubuntu-desktop then used the update-manager tool, but the server update tool should work as well.
No problems, except Firefox is a pile of (slow) crap on hardy, I may need to give it more ram. |

Ok, the ideal way to update to ubuntu+1 before final release:
| Code: | apt-get install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade -d |
Remove the -d when ubuntu+1 (in this case hardy) is out. |

Which version do you mean: Firefox 2 or 3? Firefox 3 is for me the most efficient browser finally doing memory management correctly.

Hm... is the andLinux launcher still working for you? Not so for me. |

Actually, something horribly wrong happened. I cannot mount my home partition. I cannot pin the guilt to 8.04, but it's a possibility. I had to go back to 7.10 by reinstalling.
Be extremely careful out there  |

It seems like people are reporting all sort of problems:

Me, I'll wait till Joachim releases a new andlinux that is tested with the new ubuntu (IF). |

Nothing _that_ bad has happened to me, fortunately... |

I also needed to change how /usr/bin/X11/startwindowsterminalsession was started as inittab was replaced by event.d
I just put it into rc.local and that fixed it for me.

Kogent, can you explain a bit more what you did exactly? I have trouble understanding it so I can replicate it.
Anyone else going with 8.04? Anyone using java apps? Please report here...
I have the impression that many of the problems I'm having with andlinux are due to the X server, not andlinux itself. |

I've been using Hardy (also beta) with andLinux for months now and I didn't experience any problems. I've just tried jcontrol (Java Control Panel) and jconsole (Java Monitoring & Management Console) and both work as expected. I use sun-java6-jdk (6-06-0ubuntu1).

For anyone else upgrading to Hardy:
Could not connect to blabla will appear! However, start up that FLK console and login as root and type in:
launcher.pl and leave it running, connection will then be up again...
However, I now can't mount up anything, it say IO error 
EDIT: Needed to replace "windows-host" with my Computer IP, works now! |

The problem on upgrading from gutsy to hardy is that hardy uses
cifs and not smbmount (if I got this correctly).
The following lines fix the problem (adapted from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534):
apt-get install smbfs
nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
search through the file and look for the line that looks something like so:
hosts: files dns
and add "wins" to the end of the line so it looks something like this:
hosts: files wins dns
apt-get install winbind
do a reboot
test manually: mount -t cifs //windows-host/MyShare /mnt/win -o username=username
cp /etc/smbpasswd /root/.smbcredentials
change line in /etc/fstab to:
//windows-host/MyShare /mnt/win cifs auto,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=cp437 0 0 |
