Ubuntu 9.10 ala Karmic Koala is out – get it while it is hot.
I have been running Ubuntu on multiple machines since around the 7 release and yesterday Karmic Koala officially became Ubuntu 9.10. I am already running it on one of my laptops and I must say, I am impressed with this release. In my opinion this is the best Ubuntu release by far. Congrats to the guys at Ubuntu for a great release – what I will give to be part of this team at Canonical.
Over the weekend I will upgrade one of my Ubuntu Desktops with the online upgrade. I have heard about some issues about the online upgrade but I think it is people that are just a bit impatient and the repositories are overloaded or the mirrors are in an unstable state. I will wait a bit for things to settle down. If you did an online upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 then please comment on your experience.
I will also do a fresh install of Ubuntu on a machine that are runnung Kubuntu. I just cannot get used to Kubuntu so it is back to Ubuntu.
Grab your copy of the latest here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/. If you can do it via Bittorrent then so much better. Ubuntu is all about sharing so go ahead and share that bandwidth
