====== Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ======

As of October 2008, Brightboxes are being pre-built with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.  Previous to this, Brightboxes were Ubunutu 6.04 Dapper.

===== Upgrading from Dapper to Hardy =====

Due to the way Brightboxes are built, **you can't upgrade your Dapper box to Hardy**.  Upgrading will break your Brightbox - it will not boot and cannot easily be made to boot.

Currently, the only supported way to upgrade is to [[docs:helpdesk|file a support ticket]] with us and we'll **wipe and rebuild** your Brightbox as Hardy.  This will require a few minutes downtime of the box and redeployment of your app (a good time to move to the new [[docs:gemv2:start|Brightbox deployment gem]] if you haven't already)
