17+12=...

If you want U-10.04 and cannot wait try the Beta-2 version. Currently U-9.10 works well in my boxes. Though there have been times in the past where I used the Alpha or more often a Beta version with success.

I can understand the excitement for the next release, in six months Linux progresses as far as windows or apple will progress in two years. So far with Linux it has been catch-up to windows and mac. This release should consolidate the parity with the other operating systems. People who see me working using Ubuntu often ask me what I am using because of my speed. often all nine desktop windows are used while I am coding, Opera is my primary browser because of the view source and correcting source option, Firefox is my test browser for the updated code, Konquorer is my open html, flock is for firebug and validating and chrome is search, Aptana for java script is in another desktop and a view desktops are open for files so the files can be renamed, created or accessed quickly, and often Gimp is open in another desktop window. I am satisfied with U-9.10, I will be even more satisfied with U-10.04. It usually takes around a month for the applications to catch up to the new release. So for awhile I find it necessary to use the previous version for awhile longer after the release, though I soon find myself after around a month using the new release by preference. I haven't tried windows lately for work, I estimate Linux is around three times faster for my productivity. that is what used to take a half day in windows can be done in an hour using Ubuntu.

I have often thought that if I could switch window managers in Windows, I might've been less drawn to alternatives like Ubuntu (well... pre-Vista, anyway). In Linux I can configure KDE to behave just like Windows if I like (not that I like), for instance, whereas in Windows I'm pretty much stuck with whatever Microsoft thinks is best.

That's just a roundabout way of saying that Linux is much faster for me too.

A tip to downloading a new ubuntu release is to choose a source to the west. I am in the middle of the pacific and I can choose North America or Asia with equal ease. Since North America is ahead time wise the download speeds are slower during the initial release. The downloads from Asia are much faster. Asia for simplicity is six hours behind, though actually eighteen hours ahead of HST Hawaiian Standard Time. The Asians are mostly asleep during my download times.

I can't say I've ever had slow (Ubuntu) download speeds from local mirrors around here, most notably universities.

The release candidate has been released

some people have all the luck! When I choose a spot to the east it takes three hours, when I choose a spot to the west twenty minutes.

I think your connection is faster than mine. At top speed it takes about 40-50 minutes to download the Ubuntu image here.

When I had 100Mbit it took about 2-3 minutes. Those were the days.

anyone already installed 10.04 beta? it seems a bit slower that 9.10 but i need to try a fresh install

there is one thing that annoys the hell out of me, the 60 seconds countdown when shutting down, restarting, suspending or hibernating is gone

I'm running it on the side on my desktop (where XP is still my main OS). It seems to boot up a little faster, but also a lot uglier. And I thought 9.10 had already gotten the ugliness trademark there.

Oh yeah, and I hate the Mac-like default theme. Thank God for repositories.

Other than that it seems roughly the same except a little better to me.

For setting up a server xampp is an easier and better lampp stack option than the dedicated ubuntu lampp server stack download. Xampp is cross platform, linux, windows , and mac. Xampp also comes in debian and redhat versions. Here is a link to Ubuntu Forums on how to download, install and set up; xampp so that the resulting stack will have a xampp control panel and a file drop folder in which to drop files to be displayed at localhost, the drop file folder named public_html will be located in the home folder. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410

The download as described is for development purposes unless additional security (passwords) are installed.

For my personal usage I tend to prefer Lighttpd. The only thing missing is .htaccess. That said, I just install the packages separately (not that there even is a XAMPP with Lighttpd afaik). I don't think it's very hard with Apache either as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for instance.

I suppose XAMPP is a good option if you're looking for something quickly, but on the long run you'll have to configure it regardless.

Apache web server tutorial. Scroll down a little and download the .pdf http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/apache_book_part.html

Just in case you are interested - I don't run a server.

Probably the best guide you will have seen !

any problem with final release ubuntu 10.04 any BUGs ?

The main problem with going from the RC to the R was trimming down the download to CD size. About the only bug that has already been fixed was that that on a new dual boot install the other OS would not be recognized until l the first update.

upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 firefox not running after upgrade ?

I'm running the upgrade as we speak. The package ubuntu-desktop held back the upgrade for some reason, so I got rid of it and it's running now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I see no particular reason why it shouldn't work.

All went well. Firefox also runs.

I envy those who have spare time and resources, so far all I've done is run the U 10.04 64 bit disk in the non install mode.

I wouldn't call it spare time and resources as much since my laptop running the upgrade while I was doing other things — which I suppose falls under resources because I could use my desktop if I needed a computer for something in the meantime.

Besides, you had the spare time to do that.

firefox in ubuntu 10.04 crashed lucky i got opera

I might as well say that Ubuntu 10.04 came out on the same day I turned 17 (Ubuntu 10.04 released on April 29, 2010; I was born on April 29, 1993)

I just didn't get to install it on something until now. Updating my flash drive took too long so I went back to Windows for a bit, downloaded Wubi, and installed it on an external hard drive. It gave me the 64-bit edition. After a bit of struggling to get Flash working (I had to go through several shell scripts just to get Flash working) I can now say that I can probably use Linux as a "mainstream" OS too

Just... don't expect me to know everything, I'm still a newbie to Linux. Now, if you don't mind, I'm restarting so that I can use the fancy-shmancy animations

uninstalled and reinstalled firefox back

10.04 is faster than 9.10, The interface is unified, where before sometimes the window option buttons would either be top left or top right. The upgrade was cleaner. 10.04 is definitely W7's equal. 10.10 should be the first Ubuntu to leave Windows in the dust.
