cool. downloading now

 

[red_devil]

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]

not much at offer when compared with 8.04

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.

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

 

[thewisecrab]

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

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

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man most of the lib in 8.04 are really outdated.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 thanks to outdated libs.

Ubuntu has always give me trouble with every release . On the other hand Fedora and Sabayon Linux hasnt given me any major trouble .

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]

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 ?
