Quoting:I read it twice. I am not excited . What's wrong with me ? @nikkels, Nothing. You just aren't the average John Doe, in a positive way. :-) |

I'm very excited! But then, my company logo is a penguin with red sneakers. Penguins are kind of a thing with me. As to the software, well... |

Yeah and Number 5 (STABILITY) is BS. I am running precise on a system with nvidia graphics drivers and it was locking up all the time so I had to manually downgrade the graphics driver. I hope they fix that before release this week. |

I stopped getting excited about Ubuntu when they stopped having decent releases, maybe around Hardy Heron or so. |

@montezuma, It seems that the official release is bursting out forthwith within the next couple of days. Im sure that over the next couple of months, Ubuntu will issue at least one update to its official release to cover your nvidia graphics lockups. Until then, maybe you should re-consider using whatever Mint distro desktop will work best with your system's nvidia graphics system. Make sense? this is at least what some other folks with nvidia graphics are doing. 2c |

Yes, Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS) was very nice -- I rather liked it. Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS) isn't bad, but... just not as good -- subtly but noticeably not as good (and I am posting from a Lucid box, right now.) I find that I'm much happier with Mint, and also much happier with Debian -- that has to be a bad sign. |

flufferbeer, I am running Mint on a laptop actually and Ubuntu on a desktop. I don't mind fiddling with Ubuntu to get it working as I have been using it since Warty in 2004. I run it on a desktop for a rather prosaic reason: Because I can update the version every 6 months without reinstalling which is what Mint recommends. Ergo laziness. |

Quoting:It seems that the official release is bursting out forthwith within the next couple of days. Ubuntu 12.04 is available now. AAMOF, as of the time of this very writing, there have already appeared here at LXer nearly a dozen Ubuntu 12.04 -related articles since this particular one under discussion. |
