leap of faith

Datamation: "When you point your Wi-Fi interface at a local wireless access point (WAP), you’re implicitly trusting it.

Say, for example, you’re in your favorite coffee shop and turn on your mobile device and see there’s a Wi-Fi net present—say, something like “Acme-wireless.” You see it’s not using WEP, so you blindly and courageously take the leap of faith and connect to it."

A major upgrade of your OS is always a leap of faith. In this case my upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) to 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was a smooth transition with no worries.

Here is a video capture of my upgrade of the OS. [Watch]
