I think it is available for testing, but not sure. We are indeed heading into a very pretty future, with not only OS releases, but also we'll see shifts in social acceptance of the OS in years to come. Open Source is fighting its way through, fighting it hard! I promise to give 9.10 another go, but only when I build my next machine ;) by which time 10.04 would probably be released. P.S. I want to see Ubuntu do something really special, something Mac and Window$ wouldn't even dream about. P.P.S. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-vlc-doesnt-play-video-after-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-upgrade.html ? This is what I was talking about earlier - little things. Ciao ;) I seriously think that Gnome 3 shall rock Linux world. I think it is available for testing, but not sure.

It's interesting to acknowledge such problems, for me everything was so much better. 9.04 would freeze completely a few seconds after logging in, so Karmic has been my main desktop for some weeks - it was way more stable!! AhaeaehAEe Anyway, I believe we're heading to a nice direction. Just really anxious about gnome 3. It will either be very good or screw everything up =S Vladimir,

I even installed 9.04 onto IBM T23 (not very good specs to be honest) and could watch flash in fullscreen with no probs. Yet, I tried to install 9.04 onto my AMD64 machine and I could not play flash in fullscreen. AMD and Ubuntu is not a good mix ;) 9.10 looks sweet, especially new themes (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nice-themes-for-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-users.html), but for example, Ubuntu One (the cloud thingy) is too buggy (desktop and server-side). A number of applets crash in GNOME (that's a bit annoying), these little things add up to something of an incomplete user-system. None of the releases are perfect, I know, yet there was so much anticipation in the air (before 9.10 release) that I was too eager to try it out. Oh, and to be honest, the UPGRADE process was a nightmare to deal with! AAAAAAAAaaaaaaa! It was much quicker to download ISO and install a clean copy. Anyway, if we want to compete with Window$, we need a good OS, not "argh-we-could-have-made-it-better" (http://www.tuxradar.com/content/bbc-takes-linux). It is my personal opinion and does not reflect, convey or support Microsoft Corporation policy. a little bit of humour for you ;) is the 6 months cycle a good thing? don't know... :) Hi Peterson,

Because, to be honest, in 9.04 I couldn't even watch Youtube in fullscreen. Seriously. I fing 9.10 to be a huge improvement, not only for that matter. It is way more solid - and quite good-looking too =) Vladimir,

Lots and lots of bugs (!), more than in 9.04 six months ago. One step forward, two steps back for Ubuntu. I was unhappy with the release and decided to stick to 9.04. Have you heard anyone else complaining? just curious :) hmm, indeed, what’s wrong with Synaptic? it does sound like an ad, but give the author benefit of a doubt ;)

Microsoft BizSpark. If that's not reason to be worried, it's at least curious =P Have you seen the website partners? Microsoft BizSpark.

What happens if that info falls into the wrong hands? It would be handy for a malicious soul to mine that data for vulnerabilities... No thanks. Synaptic PM works quite well. And is simple to use.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but this post looks suspiciously like an advert.

How is this better than Synaptic Package Manager? After all, that does everything that this claims to do. (Okay, three clicks, not one. But that's hardly a major "selling" point.) I’m curious.
