It would have had a nice symmetry to it

Maybe 22:10 then

Mlah :D It is hard enough releasing stuff in IT on the stated day, doing it on a stated time too? Yeouch, not disappointed here :)

[danbuter]

It's only 5:39 my time!

[Giant Speck]

It's only 0139 here... 1010 is almost nine hours away still.

[atomizer]

in my calendar we have still 21 days in 10-2010.


If it would be released today, ubuntu 10.10 would be called 10.10.10

I will wait till around the 20th of the 10th month of (20)10

I was able to start downloading around 7:00am Eastern Standard Time.

It's 7:30am now and the iso is fully downloaded. I would say this is prime service.

And it's FREE!! :P

I'm just installing now! :popcorn:

[undecim]

They should have waited until 10:10 GMT.

Btw, I'm running the RC already, and my Elantach touchpad works! Ubuntu officially does all I need.

Symmetry for the sake of symmery is just the mind playing childish games.

It didn't hurt that it's a long weekend in North America and it became available on a Sunday morning, so the church, football, and traveling factors helped. Most of Canada is closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

Th-the-they lied to m-me.. h-h-how could they? :(

[Naiki Muliaina]

:D Don't worry, they appear to do it often, you'll get used to it. Just use their guides if you find any useful ones and I think it should be alright.... ;)

I would rather it come out when it was ready, which it did. I did have to install twice though the first time after the reboot there was no grub menu. still never mind, its a geat day for computing.
