459720 2006-06-01 08:50:00 Just reading about what the new "Dapper Drake" brings - these are the notes ( www.ubuntu.com) for the Release Candidate. Glad they have improved the installer, as when I last checked out Ubuntu it was a tad ugly for such a polished distro.

Must download it again when it is released tomorrow and give it a whirl. :)

Christchurch - Thurs, June 1st, 7.30pm, Sydenham Community Association Hall, 25 Hutcheson Street. FreeNix Wireless Community workshop: Dapper Demo, Q&A, installs & fixups, supper, celebration!

Or if happen to be out of NZ at that time: wiki.ubuntu.com

Oh wait.. June 1st 7.30pm? Hmm, they must be having a pre-release party. Or maybe that is US time...

459722 2006-06-01 09:11:00 Hmm, I wonder if there will be a local mirror of the live edition here. bob_doe_nz (92)
459723 2006-06-01 09:34:00 Will it update my breezy badger instillation, or will I have to wipe it to install dapper? I spent so long finding out how I like my linux box set up. Greven (91)

Then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Already running it, it's very very nice :cool:

459727 2006-06-01 10:48:00 What? You mean its release already?It's been available as an unstable release for yonks. I've been on it for 6 months at the bleeding edge.

The official release is when they freeze the distro at a stable point, from then on they only make security updates, no major platform changes.
