Well, I took the plunge and upgraded to Lucid 10.04 LTS.
I must say is didn't go smoothly but the great4est problem I had with 
dovecot! For 1,5 days I couldn't receive mail but using google I found 
that the developers completely changed dovecot .conf file and that for 3 
months many people complained about this problem but but with the 
workarounds and updates I have mail again. Thunderbird was also a 
problem and why the developers still haven't added the sensors module 
for the Phenom II processors is beyond my understanding (I had k10temp 
module for 8.04 already!).
But it is an improvement in many respects, faster, less overhead and for 
the first time the sound from my guest OS Windows XP is OK! I can run my 
music notation program with good sound (and even pulse is running!!).
Sorry for the blog but I'm happy it works but upgrading like this is not 
for the faint-hearted!.
