Anyone try it out yet? Came out yesterday. I can't decide if I like or don't like the new look. A lot less brown is good though. Of course I can just change it all if I don't. Overall it runs very nice, boot times are fast, no real complaints. Ubuntu One File Syncing works pretty well, but I think I'll stick to Dropbox for sharing files with myself. 4 workspaces now as well.
blah blah blah more features here.
Impressions?
Haven't gotten to use it, was going to do the update yesterday but it was downloading at fucking b/s and said that the download would take 3 days or something.
I think i might just do a clean install sometime soon
When I get my netbook back I'm going to give it a try. It looks sick man
I'll try it out as soon as there's an OpenVZ template available
Updateratin' now
Got it the other day, runs smooth, boots fast, wireless and sound worked immediately this time.
Did a clean install, thankfully I had separated my partitions already and had everything stored on a FAT32 partition to share between windows and linux, and I just wiped my ubuntu install partition and installed 10.04 over that.
Works great, but i can't take full advantage of the broadcast accounts seeing as in how i have none.
But I am pleased with its performance, and it does look nicer in my opinion.
I haven't gotten deep into the features and stuff, but damn this is sexy.

Why do you have to wait for a template?

Use NTFS instead of FAT32. All you need is to add one line to your fstab and I think Ubuntu comes with ntfs-3g pre-installed, which is what gives you rwx permissions on NTFS partitions. Do it bro.

Because I don't feel like taking the effort to install it locally (don't have a hard drive for it either), but I have lots of servers whose purpose is to quickly setup Linux environments, but that process requires templates modified to work with the OpenVZ kernel/boot modes and I also don't feel like making one myself

Well FAT32 can't have files over 4GB in size, just so you know. NTFS's file size limit is 2^64 bytes (16 exabytes; 1 milltion TB). Most modern file systems have a limit that is unlikely to be reached. FAT32 is pretty much obsolete now, just do it.
I really want to get my netbook back now. I've already prepared my usb stick and I am going to install over the entire drive, that is if wifi works. Otherwise I'll have to go back to Mint, which isn't too bad.

Even full movies, full programs, songs, torrents anything i have downloaded, has never been a file larger than 4gb.
I just downloaded Lucid Lynx today. I still have to burn the ISO and install it on a computer.
I downloaded it yesterday as well, and I prepared my bootable usb drive.
Now I just need my netbook ahh
I just updated my distro and it's amazingly sexy.
It's the first linux distro/version that I'm actually using extensively, so I don't have much to compare it to.
I have a couple issues in it of running extremely slower than XP did for equivalent tasks and of occasional complete crashes, but those are likely related to my terrible hardware. I also dislike some of the software choices in it, but heavily using Synaptic fixed that hundreds of packages later.
The use of more purplish and white/grey colors than orange is a nice change in default color scheme. hocuspocus;

The orange and brown of Ubuntu 8.## was awful. myface;
Uh why is everybody talking about the theme so much? It's easy to customize the theme so.. yeah I don't what the big deal is a nice default theme. I haven't used Ubuntu (GNOME), I've install Xubuntu 10.04 though. Works great, gets shit done. Cool.
Even though it's just a skin, I'm enjoying the netbook remix.

Just about everything can be easily customized, but it's best to have fewer things you have to customize for things to work and look nicely
And so there can exist complaints regarding other things like the replacement of Pidgin with Empathy, exclusion of certain drivers, etc.

I understand Ubuntu is aimed more towards "it just works" people rather than the DIY people.
Yo linux guys should i install Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook or Linux Mint 9
i can't decide lol they are both so awesome (and similar ahhh)
I think Mint is easier because it already comes with things like flash and mp3 support.
