I'm frightend to upgrade my 6.10 to 7.04 ;) the RC of 7.04 did not like the VIA SATA chipset on my mainboard and refused to even find the discs. Maybe I will just do an image backup of 6.10 and try out the upgrade :-)
I upgraded two machines without any problems whatsoever. Don't know whether the second one uses a VIA SATA chipset though. The first for sure doesn't and in the second one I'm using a SCSI RAID ;)
I'm in mid-upgrade again, failed the first time when one of the files timed out.
One cool new thing: there's a full Java platform in Multiverse for the first time.
I'd prefer if Solaris came with a full set of current GNU compilers and tools. (d&r)
Besides that: I've got the impression that Feisty is a lot snappier then Edgy. Will be interesting to see how the proposed enhancements for VMware virtual machines work out. I'm currently upgrading one of my VMware servers ...
