Ive installed and had some issues, on board graphics card are not 
supported by the ATI proprietary drivers anymore, so i had to upgrade my 
Graphics card or go back to 8.10, i chose the first.

I also had some issues with a apic? i think which are not regocniced any 
more, not that big a problem though, there are a error message of some 
mod file being missing, witch i still have to look at.

Lastly on 64bit my system seemed unstable, it stopped working after a 
few reboots, could be human error though.

The boot time are definitely much improofed, and there are the computer 
janitor app to help keep your computer clean, another plus is the fact 
that most of the programs you where running when you rebooted are now 
opened by default at login. also the ext4 file system does seem to speed 
up the boot even more.

As a home system i would think it very good, though I think as a 
production system one should be keeping with 8.04 as recommended. :)

In the end the decision are up to you, i like it, and many others will. 
There are not that much changes, but what there are are improvements.
