Ya you got it. :D

BTW after downloading for the first time from Taiwanese server, my download was corrupted. I did a MD5 hash checking before burning and was confirmed that it was indeed corrupted. Downloaded second time and it is all fine now. :)

I am posting from the live cd 32bit and so far, I must say Hardy is a charm. It is so fast and adept, partly because of Gnome 2.22.2 I guess. It is a breeze when compared to previous live editions of Ubuntu and every piece of my hardware works without any hiccups. Yes people, this is the best Ubuntu you can get.

Edit: If you had any problems with RC edition like me, forget all that, those were just wet dreams.

Got the cd iso in less than 15 mins *www.techenclave.com/images/smilies/tongu23e.gif
First Impression: Nothing has changed from the previous release!

But honestly I have just burnt the iso, ran the live system and used it for 10 mins or so! Will give it some more time over the weekend *www.techenclave.com/images/smilies/happy19.gif

You used the RC just like Hitboxx did and ended up with more than necessary errors . I think the actual release didn't give him any problems at all. however Im going to install Ubuntu soon so I'll be able to confirm if 64 bit is a hassle or not :).

my fav extension are not yet ready for FF3 BETA :(

Rest Hardy is Good, i think they should have not given a BETA in LTS release.


I installed 64bit version, No hassle till now.
Just download around 200mb from Tawain mirror while installing packages, and almost everything works.
Test Flash,Java.

Just small problem.
After installing nvidia driver, how do i set resolution to 1280x1024?

I have a query. Is there a wubi for the previous version of Ubuntu? I have v7.10 CD. Can I install it using wubi? I'm not able to install Ubuntu from the CD directly because my pc does not have the minimum RAM required for the Live CD and I dunno whether there is a way to install Ubuntu without firing up the Live CD feature.

@gary4gar, #sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

Under X Server Display Configuraton > Set the res & Save to X Config file.

This is a pretty easy way of doing it, else you could always add all the modes your monitor supports manually in xorg.conf

Use rsync to repair corrupted downloads. Better than downloading a CD/DVD image all over again.

Use Torrents, Large Files Get corrupted on http often but rarely on torrents:).

Bittorrent protocol is made for downloading extremely large files. and
