[bitfolk] Ubuntu 10.10 release

Hello, As you may be aware, Ubuntu 10.10 has just been released. BitFolk will be offering it as a supported VPS image, but it's not ready yet. You should be able to upgrade to it, but I would urge caution. Ubuntu's support of Xen has not historically been that great and something unexpected could happen. If you are going to try this then I would strongly urge you to email support and ask for a snapshot to first be made of your block devices. If all goes wrong then it can be quickly and easily rolled back. When the 10.10 image is ready we should also in most cases be able to provide you with a new VPS running 10.10 concurrently with your existing VPS for two weeks at no additional charge, for you to migrate to. You would need to pick a new account name, and IP addresses will change. Please contact support if you wish to do that. Please note the support schedule for Ubuntu releases and that 10.04 as currently offered by BitFolk is an LTS release, unlike 10.10. If you upgrade to 10.10 then you're most likely going to also have to upgrade to every other release in turn, to get to the next LTS. If there is no external requirement to upgrade to 10.10 then you might consider it prudent to wait until the next LTS is released instead.
