Syanide Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 They actually released it on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10. Amazing. EDIT: The announcement at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2010-October/000139.html Some time ago a group of hyper-intelligent pan dimensional beingsdecided to finally answer the great question of Life, The Universe and Everything. To this end, a small band of these Debians built an incredibly powerful distribution, Ubuntu. After this great computer programme had run (a very quick 3 million minutes...or 6 years) the answer was announced. The Ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is...42, and in its' purest form 101010. Which suggests that what you really need to know is 'What was the Question?'. The great distribution kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the distribution designed a set of successors, marked by a circle of friends...to ultimately bring Unity to all things living...Ubuntu 10.10, to find the question to the ultimate answer. And with that, the Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 10.10. Codenamed "Maverick Meerkat", 10.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. Read more about the features of Ubuntu 10.10 in the following press releases: Desktop and Netbook editions http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-edition Server edition http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-10.10-server-edition Canonical has also launched the ‘Ubuntu Server on Cloud 10’ program. Anyone will be able to try out Ubuntu 10.10 Server Edition on Amazon EC2 for free for one hour. Visitors to the download pages will now be able to choose to experience the ease and speed of public cloud computing and Ubuntu. For a direct link to the trial, please go to http://10.cloud.ubuntu.com Ubuntu 10.10 will be supported for 18 months on desktops, netbooks, and servers. ... :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/944514-ubuntu-1010-maverick-out-now/#findComment-593248496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cork1958 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 As much as I think Ubuntu is bloatware, it is a decent Linux distro for noobs! I would prefer the LTS version myself though.

Mouldy Punk Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I installed the netbook version and had performance problems with their new unity interface. I've switched it over to the regular gnome desktop now and haven't had any problems - even with compiz enabled. Hopefully they fix unity's problems sometime soon. I quite liked the interface.

What are you actually saying here? 10.04 is LTS!! 10.10 is effectively still beta! The next LTS version of Ubuntu Linux will be 12.04 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/944514-ubuntu-1010-maverick-out-now/#findComment-593248604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Punk Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think cork1958 was saying that he'd rather use 10.04LTS on a day to day basis than 10.10.

SkyDX Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Eager to try it out through WUBI , just a question beforehand: I know when it comes to Windows x64 is the way to go, does this also apply for Linux? I ask because my main purpose of installing Ubuntu is to mod it visually to the max and play around with it so I don't know if x64 will be as compatible with tweaks and mods as x86-64 is.

Farstrider Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think cork1958 was saying that he'd rather use 10.04LTS on a day to day basis than 10.10. Sorry Mouldy Punk, but why? 10.10 is basically a progression of 10.04 with very little in it that is experimental! I presume he knows that all LTS stands for is Long Term Support! Ubuntu basically tell you not to use non LTS versions on production machines. I not really sure if most in the Linux community actually worry about that!

4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted October 10, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think the LTS versions are for business users and people who want a stable system they don't have to think about. Or maybe it's what you put your grandmother on to minimise your support calls. Other versions are stable, but more up to date. Frankly I like keeping up to date and haven't yet had any problems since I first started using Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn).

Microsoft_Bob Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 As much as I think Ubuntu is bloatware, Huh? it is a decent Linux distro for noobs! So what is the preferred distro for experts such as yourself? On the original post. Maverick looks sweet. Not too many new features, because this is clearly a spit and polish version focusing on stability. I installed the netbook version and had performance problems with their new unity interface. I've switched it over to the regular gnome desktop now and haven't had any problems - even with compiz enabled. Hopefully they fix unity's problems sometime soon. I quite liked the interface. It's still pretty experimental from what I hear. I'm looking forward to testing it on my acer aspire one.

Farstrider Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Huh? So what is the preferred distro for experts such as yourself? I was thinking the same thing! What I find amusing about people who make comments like this, quite clearly, demonstrate their lack of understanding about how Linux works! From a command line perspective all Linux distributions are the same, Linux is Linux! The veneer on top is just that, veneer! Take it away and then everyone moans about how ugly Linux is or that it is unrefined and so on and so on!!

Microsoft_Bob Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 They actually released it on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10. There must be some kind of celestial significance to it ;-) Well so far I have had: Trouble installing with Wubi A crash on boot Can not fetch drivers from restricted drivers app Constant freezing trying to install drivers Perhaps you should trying doing a clean install without windows xD. By the way which drivers were causing an install problem/freeze? Eager to try it out through WUBI , just a question beforehand: I know when it comes to Windows x64 is the way to go, does this also apply for Linux? I ask because my main purpose of installing Ubuntu is to mod it visually to the max and play around with it so I don't know if x64 will be as compatible with tweaks and mods as x86-64 is. If you just want to try it out, wouldn't it be easier to just boot from a live cd? You only use 64bit versions if you have more than 4 gig of memory. There are no real benefits to using it otherwise.
