Ubuntu 8.10
I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d write a review… Still, I figure that if you hate Ubuntu you won’t have read any of them, and if you don’t…you can’t have enough Ubuntu! So here goes.
I spend some more time testing 8.10 than I usually do. I installed both the Beta and the RC, which I then upgraded to the final version. The Beta probably was a bad burn, because I got quite some errors during the install. In the end, it installed anyway and worked fine. That’s where I got my previous screenshots from. The RC was a clean install, and I’ve been using it for about ten days. The idea was to stay as close to the default installation as possible…after all, Ubuntu is targeted at non-specialist computer users, who stick to the defaults.
Look and feel
As usual, I took a look around the liveCD, mainly to check the artwork. There’s a first disappointment here. As I recall, a new look was already promised for 8.04, then moved to 8.10, and…it’s not here.
