cool story bro

[NFblaze]

http://noncdn.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/

It is out on that website. I've been using the Alpha6 to Beta so I've been using it for a while its a great release. There are still some issues with my hibernation and grub but If I upgrade to final maybe it will have been addressed, anyway I really like 9.10 I think it's grand.

On the other hand I finally finished backing up Ubuntu and Vista partiton as of yesterday and I have been using Win 7 and I must say I cant see all the hype over it. It's mainly meh. A faster Vista with more glossy effect and gradient effect and a dumbed down UI for mainstream. Also, I got some adware/spyware the minute I connected to the net. Tho, Aero peek is kinda cool. Though, I will give it more time before I settle on my judgement. Main thing is its faster and looks cooler. Although, how long will that last?

[hoppipolla]

Yeah I think the other dude called Kubuntu not Ubuntu... who cares I'm just happy about it! hehe :)

[Giant Speck]

bugger! rofl! Oh well I'm still happy! ^_^

[xuCGC002]

Wow the whole site looks amazing!

I agree, looks a lot more polished. This seems to be the next good release.

[bonfire89]

where is the torrent? I have to leave for school in 10 minutes :(

lol.. wait, at school I can download it at 1.5MB/s

though seeding it for an extended period of time would probably kill my network privileges... I think I know what I will be doing in class today.

[samh785]

<sarcasm>You can use torrents for legal things?!?</sarcasm>

[Foster Grant]

Site is slashdotted ... which is yet another reason to wait a week or so like I usually do. :)

a working grub 2

and last, not definately not least...

ext4 as standard*

The torrents were available before the site was updated :)

I've already seeded 4 cd's worth of data (I'm also seeding 4 CD's...) :D

[askander]

Funny they use a family guy episode to promote the video player, since family guy was used for windows 7 to advertise :)

[bryncoles]

Maybe this is a silly question... but from where would I get the torrent for the 64 bit version? And how does one "midsum"?

[bit mad]

I like the way they're using Family Guy instead of Microsoft, LOL :D

[Joeb454]

Because it was too offensive. To be fair to them, I can totally see their point. But I still love family guy...you may have noticed :-\"

[donato roque]

Yes it is out. Please use the Bittorrents to download. To show the spirit of Ubuntu please share. This is the link http://noncdn.releases.ubuntu.com//karmic/.

I don't really care; there are probably going to be ten more "ZOMG KARMIC IS OUT" threads later on. The mods are just going to lump them all together in one of their "megathreads" and shove it in Recurring Discussions.

yeah man serious, GOD I hate enthusiastic people! xD

[uberdonkey5]

yeh family guy certainly seems to have an association with ubuntu users... I've seen many people with family guy avatars (and I used to have one for another site).

Maybe they can use it in the series to promote ubuntu ;)

hats off to the developers of the main page.. its short, snappy, beautifully presented and just perfectly designed. Also they really make the new ubuntu look really cool without having to use whacky wallpapers, icons or compiz! :D (he he).

Currently seeding both the 32- and 64-bit versions. I'll leave Transmission open for a while. It's the least I could do to help out on frantic Release Day.

That progress bar is perplexing. And 238 KB/s is not slow, you whippersnapper!

[Squonk07]

And 238 KB/s is not slow, you whippersnapper!

I used to think that. Then I started downloading ISOs on my college's Ethernet, where I usually get 6 MB/s and sometimes peak at 10 MB/s. Yeah, that's pretty damn slow now (at home I'm capped at 350 KB/s).

Can't wait to try the netbook remix on my Dell Latitude 2100.

lol. Nice to be a Whippersnapper again !!

I said it's painfully slow because it usually comes in at about 750kb/s
(I am on a 8mb connection)

You lucky SOB. My 9.10 download is at 88kb/s behind my colleges internet.

[Ro86]

Installing Karmic right now xD

not sure of the download speed though but it was finished in the time it took to take the garbage out !

It's because everybody uses wireless, so they don't bother throttling the wired connection. Unfortunately, in room suites (four individual rooms with a common living space) wireless is often useless in the rooms themselves. I believe this is because both the main entry door and the individual room doors are metal. It's a very effective Faraday Cage.

So I just use the wired connection, which works a treat.

So far I've got a ratio of around 24 on Transmission, and I've had it open for about two hours.


Funny they use a family guy episode to promote the video player, since family guy was used for windows 7 to advertise :)

It's less funny that that particularly piece of functionality doesn't work. Maybe a clean install will get it going? I get a GStreamer error.

EDIT: I've just added Kubuntu and Xubuntu variants, in both 32- and 64-bit flavors. Looks like Xubuntu 64-bit isn't very popular, as it's the slowest and has the fewest peers (this doesn't really surprise me much).

[lykwydchykyn]

Happiness is doing a release upgrade off your own private apt-mirror over a gigabyte switch.

Well, ok, it doesn't really do much for my disposition, but it's cool to watch.

[m4tic]

I guess i'll have to download at my university tommorow. I have free data on my phone but i cant get transmission working, 3G is available

Holy crap, The fastest I've ever hit anywhere is about 1.5 MB/s...
