Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Colony 1 Released

Posted by timothy on Wednesday May 18, 2005 @04:29AM from the whole-new-world-of-jargon dept.

linuxbeta writes "The first development release of Ubuntu Linux 5.10, code name "Breezy Badger", is now available for testing. Colony CD 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Breezy development cycle, as images that are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD-build or installer bugs, while representing very current snapshots of Breezy. Screenshots are available. If you're interested in following changes as we further develop Breezy, have a look at the breezy-changes list. Bug reports should go here." (This comes in, of course, as I'm installing Hoary on my iBook.)

Ubuntu is overrated by Toy+G · 2005-05-18 04:39 · Score: 0, Troll

as Debian derivatives go, Knoppix and its "children" (Kanotix, etc) are much better. Better HW recognition, better multimedia support, better package management (straight from Sid) etc.

The only notable feature of Ubuntu is the artwork. Nice to see that, in a strong self-declared "no-bullshit" community, a bit of eye-candy is still privileged over technical merits.
