What was the BEST Ubuntu release for you?

[sanderella]

Mine was 7:10, flawless.:KS

[Lord Xeb]

same here. Hardy gave me a hard time, and I haven't tried the others. Fedora is okay, but I haven't installed it (I put it on a VM)

[bufsabre666]

hardy, every version has been getting better and better for me

Add a poll! use thread tools up there!^^^^

[spamking2000]

Gutsy and Fiesty were both great. Stable, everything worked... Fiesty had a few bugs that were fixed in Gutsy, but Hardy broke everything!

[monstermudder78]

8.04, followed by 6.06. The in-betweens worked ok for me, but always had some little quirks to work out after installation (i.e. long boot times, black screens).

[christhemonkey]

Hoary Hedgehog.
Nothing beats the first time I used ubuntu :)

[acelin]

I have to say I really like Feisty, cause I used it so much. however Hardy has way better support for my computers, and is much much faster.

Hardy all the way!

[gameryoshi600]

Hardy and I'm probably keeping it for a while as I like my current setup

[UniverseA7X]

Hardy. I started using Ubuntu at 7.10, but Hardy was a big improvement for me.

[verb3k]

7.04 was flawless, 7.10 became stable after 6 months of updates, 8.04 sucks big time

[SunnyRabbiera]

Dapper by far.

[Waappu]

Hi

I must day 6.10 Edgy Eft

[Happy_Man]

I loved Feisty like a brother. I think that says it all. :)

[cardinals_fan]

Edgy Eft.

[frenchn00b]

Breezy, the others are too buggy

[bufsabre666]

I loved Feisty like a brother. I think that says it all. :)

hardy works the best for me. Edgy gave me the most trouble

[DeadSuperHero]

Debian. :)

All jokes aside, Edgy was my favorite. Not really because of the features, but because it was my first time with a Linux distro, and I was enthralled.

[Trail]

7.10 for me as well. Still using it.

+1:

[FuturePilot]

$latest_version

[areteichi]

I had the best ubuntu experience using 6.06 Dapper Drake which was actually my first gnu/linux experience. (had Dapper not been as good, I probably would still be using windows)
Feisty comes in second.

[wdaniels]

I remember Dapper fondly because it worked perfectly out of the box on all the hardware I had at the time, and generally seemed to be very solid. There hasn't been a release since then that I could just install from the CD and have everything working straight off.

I would say that Hardy was released way too soon for an LTS version, but now that I've gotten everything sorted out, I'm very happy with it.

[barbedsaber]

Ibex, nah just kidding,I am not that crazy. Its hardy for me, the only one I tried after gutsy.

[angry_johnnie]

Feisty Fawn. It's still here, right next to Hardy. :-)

[HunterThomson]

Gusty 7.10 is the best for me... works vary well with My laptop.


8.04 Hardy doesn't play well with Lenovo Ideapad:

Dim on boot, media player, game and max brightness is 8 not 10 like it should be.

Suspend and hibernate doesn't work in hardy.

[bomanizer]

Feisty and Gutsy have been good. I'm sticking with Gutsy 'till the end of the support period.

[tom-ubuntu]

7.10

Still having my samba issues with 8.04...

[jomiolto]

8.04 easily.

All the ones I tried before (7.10, 7.04 and 6.10) had plenty of problems (sound, video, fonts, etc.) and stability issues, but 8.04 has worked almost flawlessly for me -- initially it was a bit unstable and really slow, but after a couple of weeks of updates those problems silently disappeared and I'm quite a happy camper now :)

The only thing I'm missing is wireless, for which I need to use ndiswrapper :(

[MemoryDump]

I am pretty happy with Hardy.. minus the lazy/awful implementation of pulseaudio imo. :(

[Arcadian]

I'm extremely pleased with 8.04 Hardy Heron, now that I've got my webcam working. Everything else was flawless, even an upgrade! My laptop, home PC & work PC all love it. I particularly like how tracker search is now working well, the bootup speed is better, suspend/hibernate work well & even the multimedia keys on my laptop worked straight off. Great work team Ubuntu & thanks! :guitar: It's more polished & it shows.

I'll be sticking with 8.04 for quite a while now (LTS!). Jumping from version to version in the past has had its troubles with drivers etc, but Hardy has everything I want :KS

7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, on the other hand, wasn't too flash for me...

[_DD_]

Gutsy...
Epic release with an epic name :D


I've had no issues with Hardy though.

[Daggo]

Feisty!
Hardy was also pretty good too

[mrgnash]

Ubuntu keeps getting better with every release, so 8.04 has been the best for me, and I expect Ibex to be even better.

[rune0077]

Hardy by far. It's the first time things just seems to work without any need to fix it myself.

[Exsecrabilus]

Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon."

When I didn't have Internet (because I didn't know I was supposed to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter package to enable my Broadcom wireless card) Gutsy actually told my "Package 'bcm43xx-fwcutter' could not be enabled."
Later I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , downloaded the .deb file, downloaded the wl_apaste.o file and enabled my card.

In Hardy, it doesn't even state an error message; it just repeatedly attempts to restart the computer, confusing me greatly.
I had to look up on the forums and spent an hour before I found out a solution.

Add a poll! use thread tools up there!^^^^

Yeah, use a poll, it's a cool feature! Anyway:

Hardy is the best for me so far, despite some networking issues.

For example Gutsy-Gnome was a pain in my main laptop. I had to switch to Gutsy-Xfce, which was far more stable. Now I'm running Hardy-Gnome with no more issue that some suspend problems.

[swoll1980]

8.04 without a doubt
