Hoary Synaptic-Upgrade from Warty

[Matthew S-H]

I originally had upgraded to hoary by using synaptic to "Upgrade all 
packages" using the Hoary repositories the night after the final 
release.  Hoary ran a lot slower than Warty for me.

I had then been forced to reinstall because of some stupidity on my 
part (long story.....).

The second time around, I did a base install of warty (i had the CD) on 
a fresh partition and then upgraded in the same way.  This time, 
however, there were a lot more features available and the system ran 
much faster than before.
Before the fresh install (in the original Hoary upgrade), some 
features, such as Hibernation, some control panels, etc, were not 
available.  The speed and feature difference was probably due to 
user-customizations I had made before installing Hoary.  But it should 
be noted that I had not made any serious customizations.  The only 
customizations I had made outside of the control panels that come with 
gnome are modifications to /etc/fstab, /etc/bash_completion, ~/.bashrc, 
/boot/grub/sources.lst, etc.

Anyway, I just thought I'd point this out.  I don't think I can provide 
much more detail because I don't know the exact customizations I had 
made and because, despite the fact that my old partition that had the 
hoary upgrade installed is still intact, I cannot boot from it.  I had 
accidentally messed around with the initd stuff.  I still have the 
partition available, though, because I needed to migrate data over to 
the new installation (took me about an hour), and I was afraid I might 
have left something behind...
