Coming up for the 29th, the new release of Ubuntu (9.10), dubbed Karmic Koala.
I’ve been testing this release for quite a while, and I’m quite content of it, though I still think the Jaunty release had more new and improved features
Well, this was just a FYI :)
While Jaunty Jackalope is still in development, I decided to format my hard-drive at home and do a fresh install of the new beta. This was really the first time when installing a beta-release really was the best choice I could’ve made. Jaunty is amazing! A lot of small bugs are worked out, booting time has drastically decreased and the looks are just great.
At first I tried to ‘update-manager -d’ my old Kubuntu Intrepid install, but I used gnome with Kubuntu there and updating to Ubuntu Jaunty wasn’t the best idea, so that’s why I decided to do a fresh install. The alternate installer didn’t quite work, so I had to use the graphical installer instead. This worked fine, except for the fact that I couldn’t do raid in the setup, but anyway, nothing mdadm couldn’t fix afterwards.
Overall, I’m quite happy with Jaunty Jackalope, even when it’s still in beta.
