Saucy Salamander - worth the update?

well guys?
apart from the rule 34 baiting, is it worth upgrading to the latest release of ubuntu or is it same old same old?

I thought the latest was Trusty Tahr.

I'd say same old same old. I still find the server edition buggy compared to 12.04 so it depends on if you want the latest of the latest or if you are happy with a working system.

Good, I thought I was going mad.

Trusty is OK but not a huge leap from Saucy which I was using until recently. Having said that, I only use it headless so wouldn't expect to see a great deal of difference!

I have had Grub issues with TT though which seems to package GRUB 2.02~beta2-9.

My 14.04 server build is getting the no tallos memory leak error :-\ its not leaking memory but it says it is.

Yes, I had that for a while. Apparently it is Samba related. Have you tried the pam-auth-update workaround?

I noticed that samba also throws up a FAIL error at boot and shutdown but it all seems to work fine for me.

I think it depends on your hardware.Ubuntu 14.04 was painfully slow on my computer but lubuntu flies in comparison
