I've been running 1.7 for a week or so and love it and am looking forward to 1.8 but now the question at hand, in the update manager it is asking if I want to upgrade to 8.10 I'm guessing I need to wait for 1.8 to upgrade. Is this right?

Thanks

Yes waiting for 1.8 is the best option.
While it's possible to update to Hardy from gutsy, it may bork your system,
and you still won't have all the cool goodies TheeMahn is putting in 1.8.
Waiting till TheeMahn releases 1.8 will be quicker & easier (and more complete)
It will be worth the wait, and save you Kernel heartache.

right now theemahn is working his a** off trying to make 1.8... congrats to him when he finishes, and no noone knows not even theemahn. Apparently he's had some problems with cheksum and has even tried compiling it on a vanilla install, but no luck... mebbe we'll hear from him later.

You hear me now, It is now weather if can happen, it is when. I will give it 1 day & pass judgment, not on you but the things they say.
