Hope there arent too many changes between release candidate and final release

I think they're the same - judging from the time stamp!

I just got it from Canonical's UK mirror a few minutes ago, maxed out my Be* connection... :confused:

Got it from the Canonical UK mirror after about half an hour using Mini-DM download manager in IE7.

Currently getting 6 MiB/s from the torrent. Was getting ~100 kB/s from 4 different mirrors.

Presumably the upgrade from RC and beta is just and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade away?

bennyB · 23 Apr 2009 at 16:34

Annoyingly I got the .iso for AMD64 pretty quickly by torrents ~400kb/s, then I realised to update I would need the alternate cd.....,ok i thought, so downloaded that nice and quickly too

Tried mounting and installing it which seemed to go ok, then it requests to download, i say no, then it starts downloading anyway! :confused:

So shouldn't have bothered downloading in the first place!!

poo, should get really good speeds as every man and his dog will be seeding.

Thats the theory anyway

Thankfully Virgin Media have updated their mirror so updates are coming down at full speed.

First impressions are that I'm very pleased with the performance improvements over previous versions of Ubuntu especially noticeable with application loading like with Firefox. I'm not sure if this is thanks to me using ext4 on my root partition but so far happy with it. Hopefully I can also get the Creative X-FI MusicXtreme working as well.

Edit: Managed to get the X-Fi working through OSS Linux 2.6 .deb file found at: http://www.opensound.com/

Given the massive improvements in 3G broadband support, I'll be doing the solder-a-3g-card-into-my-eee mod somepoint soon.

It removed the non-free graphics driver saying there isn't one available for 9.04.

But

3D effects still work, but are now usable! VLC video doesn't act funny and Firefox scrolls nice and smoothly.

Great

I've been busy developing on my ubuntu install so currently still on hardy heron as intrepid ibex gave all kinds of problems with the tools I needed, so in a couple of weeks I will be upgrading my desktop and laptop to jaunty - I cannot wait!!!!!!!
