First Look At Ubuntu Linux 11.10 Beta

Thanks for the link ! Also waiting for Mrk's comments ...

BTW, the first comment in the link was this:

And this comment, a little lower down offers an explanation for why the "classical" choice won't be there:

Actually, I don't mind Unity at all but that maybe because I'm new at the game and don't have much attachment to other environments. (I did run Mint 11 (Gnome) for a while.)

Looks pretty good for those who like Unity and the changes they're making. I personally don't mind Unity at all. Hopefully things will become more polished and complete in the 11.10 release. I'm looking forward to it...

 

Your statement holds a lot of truth to it, I believe. The "old-timers", like me, have grown attached to Gnome 2.* and hate to see it go. Kerodo is obviously more progressive in his mindset even though he's been a linuxer for quite a while himself. Unity is tolerable but I still think it sucks. I actually tried to like it. I guess my biggest complaint is that Unity is not very tweak-able as of right now.

BTW, I tried 11.10 beta a couple of days ago. I found it rather buggy.

Later...

 

I didnt care for 11.04 at all. Not that I disliked unity for what it was trying to bring it just wasnt polished enough. I am running the 11.10 beta and although there are some minor issues its definitely more polished. I am liking it so far... Will see... There are some exciting changes coming to the linux desktop environment.

 

One more review:

And it has this:

 

Unity works fine here on my measly little AMD Netbook.

 

linuxforall,

Long time no see - missed your posts.

 

linuxforall,

welcome back Sir we all miss your posts

 

Thanks Ocky, missed you guys as well, was caught up in some project, now have some time finally but miss my i7 desktop, have to do with a brand new ASUS EeePC 1015B Hallelujah for Linux and Ubuntu.

 

Thank you sir, have missed all your posts as well as Kerodo's perspective as well. Glad to see Mrk still around with his reviews.

 

Hey, linuxforall, I missed you, dude. Good to see you again.

Stick around for a while. .

Later...

looks great. i just hope it runs faster for my old pc.if not, back to bodhi linux..

 

more than 20 crashed in 10 mins

they only things that really sucks most about this OS is stability and stupidity its worst then even premature kde or ubuntu 11.04 its sucks even more every thing crashed from software center to firefox ..........running it on 2d mode

click on fonts its show Gimp next time its show virtual machine, i give it 3rd try is show startup disk creater i give it in dash bar (unity stupid menu) LOOOL

search something its shows something else

search screenshot it give you blank go to accessories get all then only u able to take a screenshot your desktop funny no

ubuntu restricted extra took 98 mb to download so those who have less speed connection like me go and make yourself a cup of coffee for a while

last for my point of view

its nothing more than eye candy idiot BOX

and if you want me to rate it i give it 3.8 all because of eyecandy stuff

still i say no to ubuntu 11.10 may be i install kubuntu 11.10 but not this one unless its stable and stop its idiot stuff

 

Ouch, not even going to try it myself. Been using Ubuntu fine for years and only since 11.04 have I had issues, mainly not being able to boot the thing...

My foot is firmly in Mint, it works flawless and using it feels superior to Ubuntu from my perspective.

 

dude i am not joking please try and see yourself

 

Thanks Trespasser, good to see all of you are still around.

 

The omission of synaptic is unfortunate but then there is always good old and super fast cli. I have used software center and haven't had any crashes but it does put a good load on my 1GHz CPU, both cores do heavy duty when software center is running on the EeePC. As for crashes, not a single one in Ubuntu 11.04, I use xswat flgrx drivers and the system has been rock stable with no surprises.

 

Hey linuxforall, good to see you again too. Hope all is well...

 

hey hey Looking good

can't wait to test it

 

Wasasup, haven't heard from you in a long while, hope you are doing well.

 

dont know its just 1st beta may be they stable it till release

on looks its pretty better that 11.04 but stability i say its worst i didnt have that much crashes on 11.04 beta alteast not on my this same hardware

by the way

lastnight we had rocking earthquick in capital while i was testing PclinuxOS phinix 2011

i have to leave the testing in middle to hold my monitor and my 2 pcs and after that news and phone keep me busy so didnt get time so i try it again today

 

What?! Getting rid of leftovers just became harder...

Anyhow, I think I'll upgrade, after a drive image.
