1 day to go...

Shouldn't Ubuntu actually be released South African time? I mean, the founder is a South African after all...
 
Demmit - not yet. :(

It's like Christmas - 'cept I don't have to sit on some fat prevert's lap to get my present.

froot, it will be released in South African time if you want to think of it that way, just not necessarily at 00:00.

Put it this way then: since Shuttleworth is a South African, shouldn't he just say that it should be released 00:00 South African time? I know they won't, but wouldn't it be nice though? right now I'm feeling like a druggie needing something better...
 
my name is froot (actually his_royal_fruitness) but froot will do. I'm a die-hard Kubuntu freak. I will live and die for my mother Linux OS
 
Of course not. But it starting to feel like it going to come African time- some time or another... :D
 
It's kinda sad that there are release parties all over the world, yet nothing in South Africa; the place Ubuntu was forged. Kinda like the French celebrating Thanks Giving whilst the Americans sit around going "Turkeys? What are turkeys?"

:(
 
Maybe they don't want a release party here because the electricity might go off.
 
it won't, before your download is complete. hopefully...

well my scheduled loadshedding is in an hour... so i'll be shedding some candle power before the download even begins...
 
Ok, I have a question (sorry for this slight detour in the thread), but anyone that has tried the beta or Rc from 8.04. Please tell me that ubuntu/kubuntu now has a gui to setup your pppoe, with an interface to choose your different connections from, without having to go through terminal, create a connection, copy, rename, copy back, repeat

The terminal way is not so bad man :)

Type pppoeconf
It opens the app
You say "Yes"
It searches by itself
You enter username and pass
Then you say "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes" bla bla bla bla etc etc etc :D

Not so bad :p

The problem that I have with the terminal is that, you cannot see if the connection was successfull, pon returns a correct value, but that does not mean that it connected, I have found myself typing pon 5 to 6 times before I am connected
