ok guys enough ... if you dont stop kde devs are gonna sue you for trademark infringement

Has the name been decided?
Yes its going to be Karmic Koala..... and from what i can see this new distribution is going to specialize on Kloud komputing (kidding , cloud computing) services ..... everything is going online .... hope our ISPs improve their speeds and services so we Indians can take full advantage of this service !

Because each distro version has been named alphabetically so far.

i think 9.04 is better. The boot time is slow in my laptop and is widely said that 9.10 boots faster than its predecessor but i observed that it is slower than its predecessor which used to boot like a rocket.

The Intel driver for my 1525 works now right away. I had troubles in the previous version and then edited the config file to get it working then, that too with no compiz.

In our college the download speed for Wifi is 1.5 MBPS and I downloaded Ubuntu and Kubuntu both in 4 minutes parallelly on the launch day. The bandwidth is 45 MBPS there.

Even I downloaded the 7 Enterprise version trail and server 2008 R2 evaluation on the same day in 3 hours. The speed is mindblowing. All you need is to set up the proxy.:idea:

For me, Fedora is a lot better than Ubuntu these days except that Ubuntu has a large fanbase and more money:)).

Its good the only issue i found was that the network manager is a little buggy ,especially with mobile broadband .
but 2 of our guys filed bug reports and i here that an update has been released which solved the problem...

I used to get my Tata Indicom Photon+ Wireless broadband modem model no ZTE AC8710 up and running on Ubuntu 9.04 with just these two commands

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xffff
sudo wvdial

But now in Ubuntu 9.10 this is not working. Where am I going wrong?

GoTo System>Preference>Network Connections .... Select the "Mobile Broadband Tab>Add" and then just follow the instructions to set up your Photon+ connection
