already re-installed 9.04 rc yesterday, as earlier installation of beta version went kaput due to GRUB error 16. i think it was due to 160GB HDD not supported by BIOS. erlier i installed it over the entire HDD, now installed on a 20GB partition. hoping it would not fail

they will send standard 32bit not 64bit

Nope except a sexy GDM

I know its everyone's wish but I would like to request everyone to try to see if they could just download a copy. The torrents are lightning fast. and I'm talking about connections topping out. You could always go to a friends house and write a copy also. If anyone near by in Kerala and needs a copy I can download it and send them. Although I don't have it downloaded at the moment.

^^yup, very true, just because it is given for free that doesn't mean we should give order for that. If u r using it & don't have good speeds with net, then only we should order.

Because they r spending $$ for us and we should not waste their money.

Why don't you try torrents? I did from torrents only. Speed is good and add to that you'll give Ubuntu servers a break.

I too recommend a torrent download.

I got mines working with Ubuntu 7.10 but it depends on your chipset also.

Finally !!!

^Then why are you dancing so much?

That GDM is damn sexy!!!

^because its been a long time since I installed any OS

And this thing is just frikkin amazing !

here is what I feel has improved:

1) superb booting time.
2) very very slick
3) "Places" feature on top bar is awesome
4) ext4 makes file copy and boot times lot faster

What hasn't:

Unfortunately, I can't make this my primary OS still as TV still doesn't work on this one. All I see is scrambled signal where all I can find out is the channel logo everythign else is black.
I still am unable to find worthy alternate to WMP and JetAudio. Haven't tried to copy songs to Cowon D2 yet but will see if the media players in ubuntu will recognize D2 or not.

Very nice overall!!!

^^ext4 has some bugs too

Unfortunately you better stick to Win

Linux is not made for you.

That places features is not new, its been there for many years.

hehe. I think you are right.

tried to connect cowon D2. none of the players were able to recognize the player (drag-and-drop works though).

After disconnecting the player, player's boot-up had lot of issues.

Should I update from beta to final release apt-get update && apt-get upgrade or install it afresh?

Should I update from beta to final release apt-get update && apt-get upgrade or install it afresh?

I doubt there would be a difference either way. Personally I would just update.

^So its done! I will just update.

i got a bill of 2200 for my 200 rs bsnl connection for downloading as the speed is 2mbps so i wont download or update anymore.. i requested them and is accepted

You should seriously reconsider your broadband plan.
