I have seen many rave reviews. I have also seen a steady but small 
stream of issues on Ubuntu forums, mailing lists. Advice is not to do 
upgrades with syn/apt/i[ct]ude/anymore.   If using upgrade manager, 
only from Feisty, don't try to skip. If installing over, 
re-partitioning  BEFORE so /home and /var/local are separate 
filesystems is convenient. 

If you have a non-critical machine that has common hardware (including 
common closed drivers), go for it. I would only do a critical machine 
via a live-disk preview (to capture settings that work) and with a 
backup/backout plan, but that should go without saying for any major 
upgrade on critical systems, right?
