**MetalheadGautham** · 30-10-2008, 08:12 PM

Downloading tomorrow morning.

desiibond · 30-10-2008, 08:47 PM

cool. downloading now

red_devil · 30-10-2008, 09:05 PM

pardon my little knowledge about the distro, but is there any *HUGE* updates on offer ??
or is it just another release with some newer variations of themes ??

basically what would I miss out on by not downloading the latest release ??
<if there is no significant update, i'm happy with my ancient 7.04 {feisty} distro>

desiibond · 30-10-2008, 09:07 PM

not much at offer when compared with 8.04

debsuvra · 30-10-2008, 09:11 PM

This is the first time I'm not going to download a new Ubuntu release as soon as possible, since I'm happy with my Arch in the linux front. Ordered Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs though, via shipit. Just waiting for the 9.04.

red_devil · 30-10-2008, 09:14 PM

@desibond, what when this 8.10 distro is compared with 7.04 {feisty fawn}

thewisecrab · 30-10-2008, 09:18 PM

Any significant changes (other than security) compared to the previous release?
If not, then I'll stick to 8.04 for a while....

Better to stick with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

NucleusKore · 30-10-2008, 10:04 PM

Thanks.........downloading. Expect to see offline packages for this soon !

a_k_s_h_a_y · 30-10-2008, 10:21 PM

i think it uses many updated libs
man most of the lib in 8.04 are really outdated. many softwares won't compile.. thanks to outdated libs.

SunnyChahal · 30-10-2008, 10:42 PM

Sumeet_naik · 30-10-2008, 10:55 PM

esumitkumar · 30-10-2008, 10:55 PM

Sumeet_naik · 30-10-2008, 11:19 PM

My old HCL cam works with Mandriva having same kernel as of Ubuntu so it should be fine with Ubuntu ! if they have added the gspca drivers

esumitkumar · 31-10-2008, 12:18 AM

Which is best linux among these two (Mandriva 9.0 vs Ubuntu 8.10) for

1. Super duper fast browsing through PC files (I have 2 GB RAM)
2. Playing AVI movies with subs
3. Supports logitech Quickcam with Skype
4. Faster D/L speed torrent client
5. CAN SUPPORT PLAYLIST MAKING on Iriver .Currently I make playlist through WMP11..Any alternative in any of these two lnuxes ?

Please tell Mandriva 9.0 or Ubuntu 8.10 for above requirements ?

iChaitanya · 31-10-2008, 05:34 AM

Who the hell said you have to buy Mandriva to get things working.. Mandriva support many codecs out of the box. .You don't have to install anything until you want DVD and RM files support... Just get your hands on One edition and everthing will work fine

If you are newbie better stick to Gnome rather than KDE 4..

hullap · 31-10-2008, 01:07 PM

Arch for me

apoorva84 · 31-10-2008, 03:37 PM

nice..might download it...

Rass · 31-10-2008, 07:18 PM

Hello!

I think that Ubuntu 8.10 is great, if compared to the older version. As it offers a lot of enhancements, like LiveCD Installer Updates, live USB disc etc. These links may be of use as well if you want to find out more:

I have read smwhere in google that Opensuse 11 supports Logitech

also in some blog smbdy had compared OS11 vs Ubuntu 8.04 and he says OS truly rocks..I have already tried Ubuntu 8.04 ..Now let me get my hands on OS11
