| 542229 | 2007-04-21 13:31:00 | Im cant wait to get it installed, Ive heard so many good things about it! If anybody needs a CD, let me know, I just downloaded the x64 Desktop version in 22 minutes! :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 542230 | 2007-04-21 13:45:00 | i requested 460cds.. (for all of hawkes bay) but damn are they getting stingy.... only 50 got approved. | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 542231 | 2007-04-21 15:20:00 | They'll probably be sending out more of those free CD's just after the release and so will probably be only filling smaller bulk orders until the initial demand has died down. | Faded_Mantis (79) | ||
| 542232 | 2007-04-21 22:35:00 | If someone has downloaded the Kubuntu DVD, I would sure like to try out that. Otherwise the CD would be great. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 542233 | 2007-04-23 03:46:00 | I have just tried the live CD of Ubuntu 7 and it rocks. Except on my desktop PC that is... Works great on the laptop, but on the PC I have to start in safe graphics mode to get it to work, and then when it appeared to boot properly I found it did not recognise my Msoft wireless mouse and keyboard so I had no controls. Looks great on the laptop. Without any intervention from me to choose settings, it found my network and I could connect to the other computers, and it found and connected to the internet. Unlike v6, it mounted all the windoze partitions on the desktop. I am impressed, except for the problems with my desktop PC. Hmmm... |

| 542234 | 2007-04-23 11:25:00 | I installed it today.. was messing with some of the services and broke the GUI tool already :D Looks very nice, very easy to get accustomed to. Freaked me out a bit when sudo wouldnt work. Was nice when I found the root password was the same as my users :) |
