It was first announced for Mosaic 2.5b2 and Netscape B09 in October 1994 (thread "HTML"). I criticised it for putting cuteness above all else, and Marc Andreesen justified it by claiming "professional" content providers wanted it, which I disputed, and then it got messy.

> I can't seem to find a package list of what, exactly, comes on those disks

Mirrors where the disk can be downloaded, should usually contain .list file where you can see this information. E.g.:

http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu-cdimage/releases/jaunty/release/ubuntu-9.04-dvd-i386.list

> 6-10 weeks delivery time? The price is right, but if you need something now

You could perhaps download CD or DVD image and burn it yourself for those who need it? You don't have to order it.

The government providing the fibre, that companies then sold services upon - an interesting presentation about how it all happened here - http://www.heanet.ie/services/multimedia/videostreaming/inex/0508_KurtisLindqvist.asx

"If they do one of the free variants of those (Fedora or OpenSuse) there are stability issues .... OpenSuse 10.2 was more stable but the European repositories were often down."

You mention stability issues (because the stability of Linux is something we all love), and then go on to say that OpenSUSE has stability issues because some of the European repositories were often down? Which repositories? I've never had troubles using heanet or skynet, and always download at max speed.

New stuff include

• Gnome 2.10.1, which makes the desktop a lot faster than before
• X.org
• Simplified update- and package management
• Much faster boot process
• Better laptop support (ie suspending, hibernating, processor frequency scaling)
• Kickstart support for automated largescale installations
• Live CD and Install CD both use the new debian installer infrastructure
• UTF-8 by default
• A program for collecting information about what hardware works and what doesn't
• Kubuntu - complete KDE 3.4 based version of Ubuntu

Stuff people are going to bitch about

• No graphical installer. The current installer is extremely simple and has been streamlined even further in this release. A graphical installer is planned for the next version (Breezy Badger).
• No menu editor installed. One can always edit the files by hand, or install kmenu or something similar for gnome. The official gnome menu editor just didn't finish in time.
• No DivX or MP3 support. These are simple to add though and anyone coming from debian will probably already know of the Marillat repositories. Just look at the instructions in the wiki or use Hoary After-Install helper or another script to do the dirty work for you.

OSDir has published a lot of screenshots of Ubuntu.

Oh and if you are interested to know if your laptop or other piece of hardware is supported, some info can be found in the wiki on the Hardware support-page

We would appreciate new mirrors, especially outside Europe. Thanks to several European Mirrors the load of our server has drastically dropped, but is still very impressive. Have a look at the stats: http://mapc77.epfl.ch/gnu-generation/statistics/gn uwin/

So if you have 650MB spare on a fast server we would be happy if you could mirror the ISO image.

Link to us if you find GNUWin II useful. Also talk about it to your friends, famlily and of course on the internet.

I hear you, and I definitely appreciate what you're trying to achieve. However, before you launch wholesale into such a world, I would ask you to consider this.

Believe it or not, the object of ICANN was to try to create a body that could succeed IANA and continue to allow us to make the decisions that needed to be made through consensus - the way we'd been doing it all along. The "rough consensus and running code" attitude of the IETF and other groups is what has turned out the useful stuff on the internet today - little things like TCP, SMTP, DNS - stuff like that.

If you "fork" ICANN, as it were, this is means a couple of things. One is that it's tantamount to an admission that consensus based decisions can't be made at this scale. Whether true or not, this would be a great pity IMO, and I'd like to see every avenue exhausted before we abandon such a great system for something less effective (like, say, democracy - something which is damn good, but despite best efforts seems to leave some people feeling a bit left out).

Also, when people are forced to make an exclusive choice, there is no guarantee that the "better" choice will win (FSVO "better" - cf. Betamax, Apple, etc etc). Further, if such a choice is forced, you may assume that the number of competitors will not remain at 2, and that some of the choices will be particularly powerful bodies that might not have the best interests of the network at heart.

If DNS names were no longer universal, do you assume that all browsers would continue to use DNS for lookup? What if they instead implement their own keyword search as a preference (perhaps giving free 1-year keyword licenses to all domain holders as of $DATE) so that "our customers get a consistent experience"? Might they succeed? If they did, would that be a positive thing?

Working within the system is often boring and frustrating. However when you are railing against perceived corporate takeover, remember how our actions, regardless of anyone's intentions, might give a company the opportunity to exercise their own "corporate takeover" at another level. It is absolutely within your rights and within your means to propose an alternative root. However, there is much to be lost by such a move, and there is much to be gained by, at least, trying to follow the backwards-compatible path until no other option remains.

I tried to acces a couple of mirrors, most didn't have it, until I finally found
