Using Ubuntu 10.04 now... is 12.04 stable enough to switch?
In the process of doing that, since I'm going to be setting up a new Linode anyway, I was thinking about moving over to 12.04 LTS.
In 'the crowd's' opinion…. is it stable enough to switch now, or should I hold off for another month or two?

I'd say for a LAMP type setup, the risk of stability issues is fairly low in 12.04.
- That however is quite risky, support wise. But it does work

@vonskippy:
If you want stable, use a ENTERPRISE CLASS distro like CENTOS 6.2 (soon to be 6.3).
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I think you meant RHEL, not CentOS. See, there are 200+ errata on the RHN for RHEL 6.2 since Jun 19th (last CentOS update), a dozen or two of those are RHSA, the others are RHBA. Meaning at this point only SELinux and luck keep our servers safe.

Let the flame wars begin!

Until the RPM database decides to go haywire then go back to the real Linux, Ubuntu.

What?? You mean I can't use AmigaOS anymore?

That joke isn't really very funny.
@The Other Air Force:
I upgraded to 12.04 and I haven't had any major issues.
Same here.
