Yeah, with UUID everything works ok. I had problem when moving from dapper to edgy but that was long time ago.
BTW I'm not sure if someone else suggested it already but having
the /home folder in a different partition is a good idea so if you have
to install from scratch at least you keep all your configuration files.

- Hardy broke suspend/resume on my laptop since they moved the resuming
scripts from /etc/acpi to etc/pm (at least on the gnome part). Keyboard
and mouse don't respond 25% of the times after resuming and there was a
workaround that doesn't work anymore (creating unbiding and binding
scripts for a module).
Missing firefox extensions but that's easy to solve with a ln -s
firefox-2 firefox in /etc/usr/bin
Broken japanese input using SCIM. Workaround is to move to
scim-immodules though.
I'm not sure if the suspend/resume issue affects the computer when
running kde though but since I use gnome too it's a reason strong enough
to wait.
