Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released
palegray.net writes "The latest version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) has been released. Offering numerous enhancements for both desktop and server environments, this release includes notable features like Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud images, the Ubuntu One 'personal cloud,' and Linux kernel version 2.6.31. Please be sure to use a release mirror close to your geographic location to help reduce the stress on Ubuntu's primary servers; using BitTorrent for downloads can help alleviate the load even more. If your organization has adequate network and server resources, please consider hosting a mirror as well."
But who cares about the next load of brown turd to come out of Canonicals backside?
Not me for one. It has fat too much Nannying for my liking.
Ah well, back to my endless Slackware compilations.
MS doesn't miss the bus. The problem is the MS bus is a short bus.

Don't worry, this one isn't cringe-worthy like the original.
Yes, but I believe the proper word is 'tubes'. Please remember that it is a series of said tubes, and not a dump truck. Treating your personal series of tubes as if it were a dump truck will definitely crash your Internets and give your CPU a virus.
To the haters: You can't win. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine

Summation 2
Linux caught the bus. But MS made Linux sit in the back of said bus.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
Don't know if anyone said it, but it seems to me that it's because the onboard video is using 16 of those 128 MBs..
A 4x HD Rick Roll?
Depends on your definition of noob.
He's been installing and administrating Windows systems for 15 years - so by the general definition, he is no noob.
He's using Windows - so by my definition, he is a noob.

/. actually got breaking ubuntu news BEFORE the main site. And people say /. is slow.
I have had issues with Ubuntu upgrades before breaking stuff.
That's funny, I often break stuff after installing Windows.
Brain surgery - it's not rocket science!
Unless there's a bathroom on the bus. Who wants to sit next to that? MS had a burrito for lunch and is in there every five minutes.
I rode a short bus, you insensitive clod!
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
Oh look, that isn't an argument. It's just contradiction. I came here for a good argument.
I think it would be more apporpriate to say the problem is that the MS bus is actually a stretch hummer.
Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud images, the Ubuntu One "personal cloud"
Oh-oh, we're getting dangerously close to a full set of buzzwords...
What did they smoke to make those cloudy names? Did the descision taking meeting look like the car full of smoke in that old Luniz video? ^^
This is unacceptable! I will fork this, and call it "Ubuntu Social iEnterprise Vertical e-Cloud Framework", Codename: "Twitching Twitter".
'Cause I got a fever. And the only prescription is "MOAR CLOUDBUZZ"!
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Hey, McCloud... get off'a meh ewe.
My Compaq laptop with XP only has 112 MB of memory.
Here's $5 and a map to the Salvation Army. Upgrade that slab.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
That would mean you're saying Windows Runs. It doesn't.

Linux isnt magic.
That's because you forgot to sudo apt-get install magic.

But it does dump.
I was taught to respect my elders. The trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to find some.
OK, I understand the bus analogy, but I would understand your argument more (and better), if you used a car analogy, like we're used to here on Slashdot.
Why did I post this? Ask me now!
An operating system's job is to run my applications and allow those applications to interface with my hardware. When an application that I need stops working or my hardware no longer works, then we can talk about moving to the next version of the operating system. Anything else is the tail wagging the dog.
Actually, it's this "Buy Buy Buy!! It doesn't matter if it really meets your needs!! Get on that upgrade treadmill, what are you some kind of loser?!11" mentality that put the world in the financial mess it's in right now. You really should be ashamed of yourself.
