After months of complaining since 8.0.4 Ubuntu came out, I can finally say that my system has returned to normal. It was a rather painful and arduous journey, but one where I learned quite a bit and participated somewhat on the Ubuntu forums. There still are a few kinks in the system such Flash blocking my Pulse Audio and me being slightly hesitant about moving onto Firefox 3. However, the most critical issue has been solved: it no longer locks up.
My system is currently fully upgraded with the latest kernel from the repository installed. Movies no longer jam my system as I simultaneously do some other tasks. I don't have some things turned on though like Compiz. While others have sworn by it, I'm keeping away until it reaches a relatively stable version.
Bottom line for is that what I see isn't bad so far. No more down time. Things work quite well. But definitely when the next version comes out, I'll wait at least 3 months before upgrading.
