One thing I find depressing is that there is no upgrade or conversion process for 32-bit to x64.

 I'd like to see a guide that stipulates methods for converting.  I could see it being possible by backing up /etc/, /home/, and other particulars to restore upon installation.  However, I'm not well versed enough to accomplish this.

Just performed this upgrade and it went smoothly, all settings, apps and customization went from 11.10 to 12.04; no reformatting, no borked settings, no crapped out hardware - now why can Apple and MS not accomplish this with at least 10X market cap., I'll never know.....makes me glad to have jumped 7-8 years ago from them. Unity is growing on me and they've done a good job keeping classic gnome easily accessible a short install away.

The upgrade wasnt so pleasent for me..

When it came to downloading all the ms-fonts, it failed repeatedly, I think found a link on Ubuntu page how to fix..but it was too late, I have had to reinstall..

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. But today Ubuntu 12.04.1 has been released. Do I need to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04.1? If yes, how?
