SeXy~DiVa:there are quite a number of improvement that jaunty has over ibex , faster bootup ( my system boots in 20secs) better notification UI , updated version or applications in the repositories , nothing really major just general polish of the system , i have never been an upgrade person , i always prefer the clean install , and since i have my home dir on a seperate partition i can clean install my system and still have the same user settings , |

I think i'll skimp over 9.04 and go straight to 9.10 after all, 9.04 is not a long term support release. Anyways, did u test out the new file system? i read somewhere that it's buggy. Used to have a problem with 7.10 whereby space disappeared from the drive( possible due to too much apt-get) but it was fixed by 8.10 which btw is great.I noticed that the startup time is dependent on the no of applications you've installed(its speed is comparrable to xp). I recently installed compiz-fusion and now i drop jaws. Trust me no other os has anything thats even close. Wish i could post a screenshot now(guess i'll do that later) bt i'm on a dual/triple boot config and 7 has got me piqued for the time being. I primarily use ubuntu for aircrack-ng, it's a must-have if your wireless driver is up for the task. Ciao. €¦Downloading freebsd now while testdriving netbsd. Will post back.¦€ |

Jaunty is way better except for display driver problems. A lot of VGA drivers have been blacklisted and therefore wont make compiz fusion and all its gizmos work. i have a CD repository of jaunty jackalope software that i burnt with 'APT ON CD'. Its free if u want it. just contact me on info@afrisoft.org |
