OK, it figures... nothing happens until I bitch and moan, and then ten minutes later I get the phonecall "Your software just arrived." Now, if only the senders would learn to mark the package as "Printed Matter", I would not have been dinged another $26.35 in taxes when FedEx brought it across the border. I can hardly wait to take it home and take it for a spin. (It better be worth it... grumble, grumble... $79.95 US + $27.95 US s&h + $26.35 CDN... yow! That hurts!). So, if I correctly understand recent posts, I should do a clean install, rather than just updating from my current, messy 7.3 Pro with Ximian GNOME, since I don't have much stuff that I (think I) need to save. I want to get back to KDE anyway. GNOME is nice, but KDE has a certain attraction... maybe it's the accent.... :-) Other than e-mail files, and (obviously, documents that I've created and a couple of little projects, is there anything I should bother backing up? /kevin

What!!??! It's in the stores already, and they still haven't shipped me my pre-paid 8.0 Pro? The bums!

Well, Best Buy does not have 8.0. In fact they
have NO versions of any linux distributions at all!!
CompUSA has 8.0 Personal, but not Professional.
Sigh...
