Yeah I have the option to upgrade. Need to find out what's so special in this version.

Yay!

Kubuntu is also live.
I'm downloading it for a new VM. I wonder how KDE 4 is looking now-a-days.

Lots of problems with this distro.

I guess it's really Ubuntu to blame. They announce their "new" version months ahead and do release on that date, even if there are still critical errors present...

Some nice knowabouts:
- Beware of corrupt data, seems the update corrupted my hdd and I lost a good partion of my flac music folder

*palms fist in anger*
- It didn't recognise my laptops network card (wth? it did with the early version...)

I'm sure there's more stuff to find out

Pull the Torrent. Most mirrors are hosed.

Currently doing around 600mbit, blame Mozilla with their 4GiB release

Since CentOS 5.3 released a few weeks ago I've seen some rumblings about corruption on EXT3 partitions. 5.3 also included the RHEL glitch wherein you ended up with a mess to clean up if you didn't update glibc by itself before applying the rest of the update. That was warned about in the release notes...but who actually reads those? (I do...)

They all seem to have their issues...on the brightside...you get to learn far more about your OS than you originally intended...wait...IS that a brightside? YMMV
