Did anyone do it?
Any problems?
If anyone is going to do it by upgrading from 9.04 or 9, and has changed menu.lst, please make a backup of menu.lst, and when prompted to overwrite it say yes, as it can lead to various annoying time-consuming bugs, that you'll eventually understand that it's because it's using the wrong kernel. After it, just make the same changes on the new menu.lst as you had before, and everything it pretty and neat.
Linux... why? just why???
Anybody installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
That menu.lst thing has been an issue ever since they implemented the automated updates. The options that they give you to choose from about how to handle the menu.lst file don't really accurately tell you what they do. Luckily, I've only had to go through that headache once, and I've since then learned which option to select during the upgrade process.
I've got it installed, actually, it's all I have installed since my XP decided to shit itself repeatedly.
I can't tell a huge difference between 9.04 and 9.10. But then again, I was only running 9.04 for a week before the latest came out.
That and I'm a total newb to linux.
Some very pretty visual features though.
Which don't require that powerful a graphics card either. Which I'm quite thankful for since the Laptop i'm using is better as a paper weight some days.
It's true. Linux is more enthusiasts and for people that have to use it." I've done it. But I've gone back to Windows now. I got tired of always looking for ways to make certain things work. I like Linux, but it can be a bit high-maintenance sometimes. "
Even if you want to do something cool you probably have to lose some hours to make it work.
For a regular user it's better windows or mac os.
@Synthballs:
I agree, and ubuntu is especially made to have low requirements.
The only grip is that some programs and almost all high profile games are difficult to run on Linux.
I have to be honest, I though I substituted many years of Debian with Ubuntu in the last few years, I have substituted even Ubuntu by returning to Slackware in the past year. I'm a little behind on Ubuntu (and even Debian) world right now, though I hear some really cool stuff is moving forward in Ubuntu roadmaps down the line. Major releases every six months? Why, that just ain't natural...! :P
