I am thinking of upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, just a click away in the software centre (no particular reason other than to benefit from recent fixes and continued support).

There are probably no easy answers (though I'd like some brief ones), but I wonder how common soft/hardware in/compatibility related problems are, resulting from such an upgrade?

Also, I am assuming all custom configurations will remain unchanged after such an upgrade (default email and custom settings, www browser bookmarks, various .rc files, repository settings for auto upgrades of unsupported software, and such), please correct me if should not assume so.

Do we have any users of Php say 5.6 on a FreeBSD 10.3 system installed from ports?

If so, can you get in touch with me? I'm trying to install pear and not having much luck, getting an error about a missing peclcmd.php file and a zlib extension that make is complaining about but which is in my php install.

I have switched my laptop to Ubuntu 12.04 (14.04 was not out then) from Windows XP. Everything works great except for two things:
