Re: xubuntu to gusty

["Scott R. Ehrlich" <user=81@nabble.blu.org>]

 I ran the upgrade at home over the weekend and the download took about 30 
minutes.   I didn't keep track of the actual file replacement time, as I 
was prompted several times if I wanted to keep or replace various config 
files. 

In the end, all worked out well, except for the system monitor applet 
(CPU, Network, etc) that crashed, and I had to add it back to the panel.
