Ubuntu Jaunty hits final stretch

Hi, thanks for the article. I just want to add one little thing. The new EXT4 file system will be available with the new ubuntu, though not by default, the user will be able to select EXT4 and this new file system should introduce a major performance increase. I've also read, that the boot up times have been significantly improved.
 
*Download started, will report back in 7 hours*
 
quite exited on this side....whould really like gnome to get completely refurbished, but guess thats the difference between KDE and gnome, KDE gets complete new versions as where gnome is more of a "slow continuinly evolving GUI"
 
Can I "Burn" an Ubuntu iso to a flash stick rather than using a blank cd?
Or are there other ways to install a Linux download?

In ubuntu you have an app called 'create a USB start-up disk' I think it makes a bootable installer from an ISO source.
 
23 April!

Busy installing this on my main PC. YAY
 
Have not used this for long I will admit that. So perhaps more time is needed but I must say this.

WTF is this?

This is so far the most, unstable, crashes consistently out of all the Ubuntu beta's I have ever tried (tried all of them btw)

The new logon screen is nice, starts up much faster. The included themes nothing to rave about as they have been in the community repo's for quite some time.

The audio applet doesn't load and when trying to get it to load it crashes. Installing Nvidia drivers crashs everything.

The key combo "ctrl alt F1 is backspace WTF again. THis means I can not even end a buggy GUI session. Yay while typing this the taskbar just vanished. Sorry to sound to negative but in all honesty I hope I am the only person with this, because so far I think this is biggest ##### Ubuntu ever!

*Notes I used to love Ubuntu* Btw again where is our redesigned GUI that has been promised for years now.

*Rant off*

This is unacceptable! I mean...this thing is full of BUGS! What do they think this is...a BETA!?!? ...oh wait.

I'm guessing that if I download a beta version, then when the final version is being launched my beta version will just update itself?

It will update itself constantly from now until the final release, i.e. you'll get fixes as they are made.

I've been running the Alpha for just over a week, no serious problems.
 
I normally wait about a month after official release, then the majority of problems is sorted. Most people don't really want to install beta software on their system until final release, and when released, all these small issues are normally ironed out. So yes, I will wait till middle may, then download and install.
