Although 20.04.1 is released<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-August/000259.html> and the .iso files can now be downloaded. The automatic on-line upgrades have not yet commenced: "Users of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will soon be offered an automatic upgrade to 20.04.1 LTS via Update Manager." On one site I found a blogger was suggesting next Tuesday. cheers, Ian. ________________________________

Cheers, Peter
20.04 is epic! I love the ZFS-on-root option, but one needs to cron a script to purge out the old snapshots regularly, otherwise they just build up and sooner or later eat up the entire disk space! Cheers David

ZFS is to filesystems what Java is to programming languages.

Touche, and spoken like a C/Assembler bare metal hacker! :) Acknowledged - traditional physical-volume filesystems retain great appeal for the sense of control and transparency they bring, just as does C/C++/Assembler which kisses the bare metal, without the 'face mask' of a VM. My own background was hand-written object code, then assembler, then C. But these days I like to choose the abstraction level that best suits the situation. Cheers David
