IMO there seem to be no worthy reason to try out 8.10. Its nothing revolutionary.

Arch is faster as you choose what to install and what not to. But Ubuntu delivers a all-in-one package. So obviously for enthusiasts gentoo>Debian>Arch>Ubuntu.

But good thing is that Ubuntu comes with many utilities preinstalled.

Dunno what was so inappropriate :rolleyes::D

But the speed improvements ? It has a better gnome, KDE4.1, etc, doesn't it ? Doesn't it offer ANY speed boosts compared to the old 8.04 ???

Really ? Even when I had installed the complete KDEmod, arch was faster than ubuntu's gnome.

But Ubuntu delivers a all-in-one package.

All in one ? I think the best all in one thing in ubuntu which is otherwise hard to compile together is ubuntu studio. :D

So obviously for enthusiasts gentoo>Debian>Arch>Ubuntu.

Lolz U comparing Debian to arch and saying debian is MORE enthusiast oriented ? Debian is a good, infact, excellent binary distro for slightly more experienced linux users, but arch is waaaay more enthusiast oriented than debian. Debian is for those who need something rock solid for servers.

But good thing is that Ubuntu comes with many utilities preinstalled.

And so do DreamLinux and SimplyMepis, which make for better debian distros than ubuntu IMO if only they had ubuntu's vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast repositories compared to debian's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge repositories.

I am confused over fresh install or Distro upgrade. After fresh install is there any bugs like wireless issues which was present in 8.04. It was a lot of pain for me to do wifi in 8.04.

No replies:mad:

Has any one checked Wi Fi issue.
