Hi friends today Kubuntu has released it new version Kubuntu 6.10

Unfortunately Shipit doesn't supply free *Ubuntu 6.10 cds

Updated via apt-get last night. Downloaded about 850MB and all went perfectly fine.

I'm impressed with edgy. Especially in things like automatic laptop hot-keys setup, monitor brightness setting, suspend/hibernate just working like that

I installed Xubuntu two days ago. Wasn't impressed with the installation, took over 1 hour, haven't had that problem with regular Ubuntu though. They made XFce look exactly like Gnome, which is kind of weird at first. I was also expecting to see a big difference during boot, but it was very much the same. I still need to poke around and see how Upstart works, then I'm going to start breaking it.

Seriously that long? I agree I don't like their vision of xfce. I like the xfce bar, wtf are they thinking? I think it's better to install Ubuntu and then just install xfce and use it, and skip xubuntu.

My boot up for 6.10 takes actually longer than 6.06, and on top of that after two or three boots it starts getting buggy. I mean as in you can't cleanly shutdown without it freezing, and it also starts freezing on bootup.

So I give thumbs down to 6.10. I am getting pretty sick and tired of Ubuntu's lack of stability. Each release is buggier than the last it seems. Screw it, I can get my Debian fix with Debian Etch. Their testing branch is more stable than Ubuntu's stable branch! lol

Once Debian Etch is officially released, I hope that I see a mass migration from ubuntu to debian. Why? There are many excellent qualities about Ubuntu, but the significant problems it has should mean that it should not be as popular as it is. I think Ubuntu really exists to fill the vacuum where Debian Etch would be if the release cycle was faster. I'm not complaining about that btw, bleeding edge distros that have "stable" releases every six months, and you have to update daily are popular, but I end up getting more mileage out of the stable albeit dated distros.
