Get it here (not announced yet)

Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

 

[D.D.]

Every time I see a new Ubuntu release, I ask myself where the hell do they actually get these names from.

 

[Proto]

They actually hold a poll for them Expect a wacky adjective and animal name with 'k' for the next release.

/me is downloading Ubuntu 9.04. We have a server that could use a test install I guess

 

[zidine00]

downloading now.

edit: downloaded and installed, damn its going faster than last time.

 

[Gossamer]

I'm downloading it.
Debian was hell...

if you want kde and want debian go for Sidux, as it is debian sid with extra scripts for usability and stability. It is rock solid, simple, and fast

Debian automatically converted my windows partition during installation to a dynamic drive... Good thing it was my media drive; though. A quick backup and reformat and I'm back to basic ntfs again.

Need I say more on how bad that was? :dead:

Hehe I wanted to post the news a few days back but it was in its RC stage

Good old torrent (32-bit): http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

Got it now, just running from the livecd.
Seems pretty good, no need do download drivers, everything works out-of-the-box.

 

[gamefreak94]

I know there's a big fat change log but is there any real notable advantage over its predecessor. v8.10 pretty much worked out-of-the-box too, so I'm looking to save myself the disk space of dl'ing this.

 

[Gossamer]

So far the only problem I seem to have is getting opengl to work with vlc which as it turns out is everyone's problem.


SPINNAN CUBES!

 

[Project Epsilon]

i'm soaking in it now. some nice improvements. but kubuntu REALLY impressed me. i held out till they fixed up the latest kde. wow, kubuntu is one of the best looking linux distros ive used.... too bad its almost completely unusable...

 

[Mad]

Well from what i heard, this release was more focused in performance improvements, and bug fixing.
3G Internet seems to work better now also.

 

[Gossamer]

Sooooooo much faster than windows, man. I feel like I'm riding two Zalman 9700's.

Too late, they've already picked it

Karmic Koala

I kid you not.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

As long as they dont pick something like Lazy Llama...

I like Debian's Toy Story names.

open office sucks and its still the best for Linux, but apart from that i don't see why the average user doesn't use ubuntu.

Ditto except for OO sucking. My mom has worked for tax companies using Microsoft Office for years and open office is like a godsend to her.
