Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) released.

That's right, Ubuntu 6.10 was released today!

I'm upgrading right now. I'll write back with problems and imressions.

Speeds are slow and it'll take me about 9 hours!

 

[Disillusion]

Yeah, I would imagine a lot of people are downloading it right now. Me included.

A lot of people on the Ubuntu forums are saying boot up times are a lot quicker with 6.10.

I think one of the best things about 6.10 is the fact that it already has AIGLX installed. Which means I can get rid of XGL.

 

[kostas]

Yes, XGL can go away now!!! I can't wait to see the new Gnome 2.16! We'll see, hopefully everything goes as smoothly as Breezy to Dapper did.

Uhh, you realize you can just modify your /etc/apt/sources.list* and do apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade, right? There is no reason to download the new disc.

*Change any instance of "dapper" to "edgy" and save it.

Who said anything about downloading the discs?

I'm downloading the disc then using it to do an upgrade. I want to have the disc to be able to use to install on other computers.

Besides, if I just wanted to do an upgrade without downloading the ISO, it's a lot easier than the way you did it.

gksu "update-manager -c"

gksu "update-manager -c"

That's what I did. Speeds are expected to be slow anyway because there's thousands of people doing the same thing anyway. Stop being a smart-*** General.

^ Better than being a dumb-***.

And the update-manager is for noobs. I dpkg -P'd that crap as soon as I installed. Same with the update-notifier.

There is no reason to use a mouse if you don't have to.
