Hi, today we are going to see a new version(Maverick or 10.10) of ubuntu.I will download it as soon as it is launched.

Are you going to download it as soon as it is launched or going to get it through free shipping or from a friend?
Also share your opinion about it after you finish downloading and installing it.

Sticking with 10.04 for awhile.
I prefer to wait and see a little feedback about new versions before installing them.
I will be looking forward to seeing remarks in this thread.

Not sure about the increase of 'Eye Candy' though I'm sure it makes a lot of M$ users more comfortable when they try it out using a bootable demo disc.

I played around with the beta a few days after it was released. It seems to have a focus on media.

I made some screenshots and an overview of what's new on my site: http://www.techairlines.com/2010/09/...-meerkat-beta/

I mostly run Ubuntu on my netbook so I'm excited about the new "Unity" interface for the Netbook Remix edition. I haven't actually tried it out myself yet, but from the video, it looks awesome and much better than the current interface.

had the in-place distro upgrade since alpha. no problems except with an update or two, but further updates resolved the issue.

I see no difference first hand from 10.04 to 10.10, but then again i dont have a touch screen either.

I have downloaded ubuntu 10.10 32 bit and installed it.It has a nice user interface and some new softwares are embedded with it.But I am dissatisfied with this release.For the following reasons,

1) Graphics Driver
I have to install nvidia driver manually before I could see the new ubuntu installation
2)/dev/mixer is not working
It means that I can't listen to line-in audio, so I can watch TV but can't listen to it.More info is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/613809
3)I can't set my presence in empathy IM.

What I like:-
1) New interface, look of firefox is greatly improved.

I have definitely decided to stay with 10.04 for the foreseeable future.

Ubuntu has never played well with NVidia, but that can be fixed with drivers.
It appears that 10.10 has major issues with wireless adapters. I have seen many complaints about this and no usable solutions so far.
And reports about other bugs keep coming in.
Apparently 10.10 did not stay in Beta Testing stage an adequate amount of time.

I agree it is better to stay with 10.04, because there is no major updates in 10.10.Also the kind of problems I am facing with ubuntu 10.10, I regret my decision to install it by removing 10.04 from my system.If I want to listen to Line-IN audio in ubuntu 10.10 then I have to download source of Linux kernel then patch it, then compile it and then install it.Also for bluetooth dialup connection I have to use pon command because blueman says my mobile is not GSM/CDMA.This is resulting in the situation where network manager and application depends on it don't know internet is connected.Those who say it is good for windows users, I can't agree with them.It is totally unhelpful for a windows user.Even to listen a mp3 file you need to install soft-wares that require Internet connection.
