I have to figure out what's bugging my Wireless connection first.
Running 12.04 beta, but my wireless is dropping every 10sec...
Other than that I'm quite excited about it

I feel like posting the image to the Mweb dedi, but I think I would get wracked on the knuckles

Any other link on SANReN? I'm only getting about 400kb/s :/

EDIT: even www.ubuntu.com times out for me as well my damn network!

Will wait for a xubuntu alternate cd image...

You can also use:
ftp://ftp.wa.co.za/pub/ubuntu/releases/12.04/
http://ftp.wa.co.za/pub/ubuntu/releases/12.04/

IS mirror seems out of date.
SAIX mirror seems out of date too.

Typing this from Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit edition (running as live CD). Trying to get a hang of this menu setup Used Ktorrent from my Debian install. Came down at 400KB/s.

No man! Live CD is not much of an indication of how smooth/speedy it is.

Install it & give some feedback.

Ran the upgrade without thinking late last night when I got the notification it was available. Was pleasantly surprised it completed with no problems. Also pleasantly surprised at how fast 12.04 is. And thrilled the graphics driver finally supports GPU acceleration for WebGL in Chrome.

 

[kingrob]

Really hope there's better support for Ati graphic cards.

I know it's not a Linux problem, more like an AMD lazy-ass problem, but still hoping the devs can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Still no Kubuntu on the local mirrors I looked at. Downloaded Ubuntu by mistake off WA this morning, so I'll check it out in a Vbox.

Will get it off kubuntu.org if it's still not available locally tonight.
