----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jun 02, 2006 11:16 am Ubuntu Dapper released today ----------------------------------- I'm sure everyone on digg will just love to hear about it :wink: Has anybody installed it yet? My download was interrupted by my crappy two-piece network cable, and shortly afterwards I managed to rm -rf my home directory. Fortunately the install CD is a live CD and I'm in the process of recovering my st0led megahurtz. So far, things look nice (well, as nice as they did in the preview I was running a few months ago). I can't wait to see all the uptodate packages available. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jun 02, 2006 11:26 am ----------------------------------- ah, sweetness! I'm going to Toronto in an hour or so, but I'm installing this on my laptop when I get back. Umm... how'd you manage to rm -rf your home directory? ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Jun 02, 2006 11:38 am ----------------------------------- coutsos, you're a day late, it was out yesturday... i played around with it for an hour and frankly i'm quite impressed.. everything is well polished, they even managed to bundle alsa this time.. for the first time ubuntu actually installs on my laptop without tweaking ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jun 02, 2006 12:55 pm ----------------------------------- I was running from the CD and mounted my home partition and a few others to check certain files, after which I meant to delete the contents of a partition I mounted... well, I'll pick better names than "/mnt/tmp" and "/mnt/temp" next time. No worries though, a simple reiserfs command from Google restored everything I couldn't do without and I'm good to go. Time to tweak. ----------------------------------- JackTruong Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:55 pm ----------------------------------- 6.06 is the first live distro that worked with my new laptop and detected my wifi card. ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jun 03, 2006 6:52 pm ----------------------------------- what wifi card do you use? the last version detected wireless fine for me ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jun 08, 2006 12:31 am ----------------------------------- Ive been using dapper for like the past month and a half ... just need to upgrade -dist and ill be all set did you say it detected your wifi card the first time! ... :shock: thats quite remarkable ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jun 09, 2006 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- what wifi card do you use? the last version detected wireless fine for me Same here. 5.10 connected my laptop's wifi without a problem. ----------------------------------- apomb Sat Jun 10, 2006 12:36 am ----------------------------------- it wouldnt detect my Dlink DWL-G520 Xtreme G pci wireless card i tried everything, even installing ndswrapper, so i just brought my router and DSL modem up here and hardwired it ... much easier and i like the security better. ----------------------------------- codemage Mon Jun 12, 2006 8:19 am ----------------------------------- I've used linux-based systems quite a bit, but I've never really considered doing a home install (dual boot, of course) - but the liveCD previewing is rather enticing. Any heads up advice over using this vs. gnoppix/knoppix (which has way more apps auto-loaded) or any other distribution of preference?
