Ubuntu 8.10 Is The Real Deal

[Comhra]

Without much fanfare, developers of Ubuntu Linux have delivered the latest version of the open source operating system that scores higher than Windows Vista in performance testing, does a better job than Windows in making wireless connectivity easy and, overall, leaves fewer reasons to stick with Windows than any other previous release of Linux.

Sounds like the perfect distro for me. I'll down load tonight and install tomorrow. But, I think I'll keep 8.04 around on a different machine until I get 8.1 up and running :)

I think Ibex is one of the more solid releases of Ubuntu, it's more of like a release from 6.06 to 7.04 which was a fantastic release, good job Ubuntu Team.

Yep, Ubuntu 8.10 is a good release. Well done to all. As for hardware I never had any problems since 6.10, it's 3 year old Dell Dimension 1100. Oops, I did in 8.04 when my wireless USB dongle didn't function to well, bought another one to solve the problem.

Nice article, thanks for posting. As I've said in other threads, I couldn't be more pleased with Intrepid. Everything's working just fine, and it is really quick.

I did a clean install to Intrepid yesterday, and it runs a lot smoother than Hardy. On Hardy, my screen brightness would always get set to the lowest on boot, and if I didn't have anything in a usb drive the start up would stall.

I've also noticed that Atmosphir (awesome game) runs a lot better on Ibex.
