29 days... I can't wait

[-gabe-noob-]

I remember when I came to linux 6 months ago, right when Feisty Fawn was giving way to gutsy.

I must say it's impressive how fast new versions of Ubuntu come out.

[Saint Angeles]

you don't have to wait, the hardy beta is out and very very awesome.

[LaRoza]

Just installed Hardy on my laptop, it works great.

Ubuntu just keeps getting better.

[scragar]

they are scheduled for a new release every 6 months, only exception I know of was the dapper release, which was 2 months late(still didn't hit the release of the version after that).

[loell]

for those who hasn't tried the beta, please do , it needs more feedback and testing. :)

[-gabe-noob-]

Yea I know about the beta but I don't work well with bugs :P

I'll keep gutsy till the 24th

also I havent really checked it out but there WILL be a xubuntu 8.04 release aswell, right?

They are all together, so yes (unless something drastic happened that I missed)

The beta is quite good for me, so it may be worth checking out.

6 weeks actually.

[LaRoza]

6 weeks actually.

No, 6 months...

[Saint Angeles]

No, 6 months...
did he mean 6 weeks late?

not 6 week intervals

[-gabe-noob-]

ahh so I have to show my freind how to get the newest version of Xubuntu

( he uses it on his laptop cause "he broke it" which means he got over 2000 viruses on windows and it wouldent boot up. his bro who is a whizz with computers couldnt figure anything out, so I walked over with a Xubuntu install disk *cause the kid's a speed demon* wiped his hardrive and installed Xubuntu.)

[SunnyRabbiera]

Me I can hold it out, yeh I want to see how Hardy is but I sill might stick with Linux mint.

[scragar]

sorry, was working off it's release number and assumed it must have been close enough to 2 months.

@ loell : I tried hardy, but my graphics got all messed up, I'm using an ATI radeon 2800(or 2600, how do I check that?)HD. since this bug was already reported I figured there was no point me continuing until it was fixed, send me a message when it's fixed if you want me to help beta test it(I'm gonna install hardy on a second partition anyway soon, erase over my spare dapper that never get's any use).

This was the statement:


they are scheduled for a new release every 6 months

[bruce89]

No, 6 months...

Yes.

I'd like to see new ones every 6 weeks actually. Probably get one dialogue changed before FF.

Using Hardy every day (to actually get things done). I don't even think about it as being "new" anymore.

Yes, it doesn't feel like a beta. Getting ready for the next version...

i wish they had the beta of the server out i would love to try it it :)

[ODF]

using it since alpha 4, I really like it. It's not really différent but It worth it.

Ubuntu 8.10 makes me curious.

I don't understand why Ubuntu even bother with a server edition, considering there is Debian.

Not a beta, but even better - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/

[marckie]

me too...
im so excited with the final release...

though i already installed the beta in my virtualbox... ^_^
