Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

[spaceman]

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.
