New Ubuntu release hits today. I’m not going to rush to upgrade for a few days at least. Hoping things are a little more polised than 8.04 was initially. PulseAudio caused me so much pain intially, even though I was running it fine with 7.10. I just don’t want sound to break and Wine to work without a hitch and I’m happy. Was just looking at the release notes, and there isn’t nothing major that I’m interested in. The new GNOME features are not amazing since I run E any way. The 3G modem support is interesting if I install on my Eee, but for my main machine I’m not that fussed about that.
Thinking about it I should probably do a major cleanup of my drives since I’m runnig short on space. Also with WotLK around the corner I need the space. I should also probably order a new graphics card before November 13th also. Going to go with ATI this time around, since the mid-range cards seem better than Nvidia’s offerings, plus their driver support has increase 10 fold. HDMI out is the future, though I would need to get a new monitor as well to utilise that.
