ubuntu upgrade :)

   Posted by: Vinod Chacko   in misc, techie

wow, that was cool… infact very seamless..

As promised, ubuntu 9.10 was released on October 29th itself.  And I upgraded to it online .. :) . I used their how to upgrade link to get that done.

This release gains much importance as Windows 7 was also released recently.  Ubuntu is capable of providing much threat to windows as a desktop Operating system.

In the recovery more i’m not seeing the fix x-server and FSCK sections …

Pros

  • Its so nice, good graphics and all
  • KDE is super
  • New pidgin is also good
  • The widgets and plasma and the compiz is nice
  • more importantly, virus free
  • You dont need to mount USB / DVD , it’ll get picked up automatically
  • The upgrade / install / remove program ( Adept ) method is so user friendly

Cons

  • I have felt that the boot time has increased a bit in 9.10
  • Having two boot splash screens is confusing
  • I have had firefox crashed a few times :-

Overall its the best OS , far more better than windows and above all FREE …. !!!
