Do you check with a livecd, then?

Sorry for the late response. I kept forgetting to come back!

I just check forums to see if anyone's had any problems. I have horrible memories of RedHat making a big release with a non-working copy of GCC, so since then I've made sure to check others' experiences first.

My other half runs Ubuntu in VirtualBox nowadays, which will also give me a good chance to see how it goes!
