Evejam is Dy’s Mad Mad World

I just realized how sad I am!!!!

I am getting really excited about the new Ubuntu 8.10, which is being released today. Why am I excited? I really haven’t got a clue!!!!.

There is no particular improvement or widget that particularly excites me. in fact the two things I am concerend about is

1. There have been reports that Ubuntu 8.10 is slower than 8.04. However that is normal as every operating system gets slower as more stuff is added. Maybe for 9.10 they could think about a Ubuntu diet so only the bare bones they Ubuntu needs to get running is installed, or maybe offer a slimbuntu version? **Updated** Actually I forgot there is XUbuntu which focuses on speed* **

2. The latest release of openoffice is not included. I can however understand Ubuntu’s decssion and I agree with the decsion but still……. would be nice to have the latest version. (Hope it will be included in the update manager soon)

BUT…. despite these negatives I will be upgrading to 8.10 as soon as it is released and I am near a network connection. It is strange that people get excited about things for no particular reason other than it is new!

Will post my experience of Ubuntu 8.10 after I have installed it later on.

For now UBUNTU ROCKS.

This is Dy reporting from Planet Earth (I think)

I found this excellent bit of information to improve the performance of your linux machines.

Hope you all find it as useful as I did.
