Ubuntu 8.10 Beta

[bookworm99]

I've just switched to this from Linux Mint on my Macintosh (though, actually, it's because my Linux partition went corrupt and my etc folder was lost). It's quite nice; very pretty graphically, very smooth, and actually fixed a whole lot of issues I was having with mint (though it did simultaneously come up with new ones ). I can't wait to get the full version when it comes out soon; has anyone else tried out this new version of the Ubuntu distro/OS?

Never tried the new version but I have been using 8.0.4 for about a month now and I really like it compared to the old ones. So I think the new version will be really good. At least I see it that way right now.

Now I do use windows for some windows-only apps but have mostly worked in just linux. Surprisingly they have a lot of auto-configure features in ubuntu that have been added within the last year that I find helpful for average users.

I'm running Fedora Core 9 on my Linux router/server at home, so I haven't tested Ubuntu 6.10 yet. I'll be sure to download it on release day though to check it out!

I hope you mean 8.10

Yes I do. My bad. I'm on vacation so at some times, the keyboard messes up or I mess up on typing.
