- prophetpimp, on 11/25/2008, -1/+8on an Alpha? do you even keep a build for more then a month?
- oscarolim, on 12/02/2008, -0/+1I've a separate installation for testing purposes. On the development machine I only use stable versions.
- weizbox, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2If your someone who likes to update often, get a rolling release distro :) Most likley you'll be working with stable packages of new software months before most Ubuntu users do :)
- davidkeithjones, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3I share your enthusiasm for new stuff, even if it breaks everything and costs me hours of life....

- darkmagician777, on 11/25/2008, -7/+1Ok the image sucks - but the article letting us Linux users about dual platform support sounds incredible.
Imagine that a free market to choose the cheaper app for PC or Mac side. I hope wine goes more automatic and is much more stable then before. It did not work for older photoshop 9. I tried it - and wine did not like myspace messenger either.- shifty2, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9"and wine did not like myspace messenger either. "
i don't think its a good idea to admit that you use myspace messenger...

- TEEMANOID, on 11/25/2008, -2/+2Feral Ferret would be good.
- newwatch51, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Nomenclature fail!
- Aitese, on 11/25/2008, -7/+28OK, I was hoping to get in before the obligatory "what's with the name?" post but I guess these guys have the comments waiting in their clipboards at all times. Once again for the slow...IT'S A CODE NAME!!!!
Go to the Ubuntu website (ubuntu.com) and see that on release there is no mention of jackalopes, efts, herons, ibex, gibbons or stinking badgers. The year, and then the month...that's it.
Now grow up.- PrismSub7, on 11/25/2008, -5/+4It's still mentioned in the repository sources and in the gnome about.
- Aitese, on 11/25/2008, -1/+6So basically you have to go looking for it? No one said Canonical never use it, it's just not pushed to the non tech community using the codename. Most users will not check what repository they are downloading from or care to click the about button.
- TotalHalibut, on 11/25/2008, -9/+3Grow up? You're the one using an OS that sounds like a children's storybook.
- HonoredMule, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2My OS only makes sounds when I play music, and I'll have you know my music tastes are very elegant and refined. *harumph*
- t0mmmmmmm, on 11/25/2008, -7/+3IT'S A CODE NAME!!!!
still a code name that sucks - twystoffate, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2Too bad. I have a jackalope head.
- PrismSub7, on 11/25/2008, -5/+4It's still mentioned in the repository sources and in the gnome about.
- hardeep1singh, on 11/25/2008, -7/+3But it hasn't even been a month when I installed Intrepid Ibex.
Does the new version look any different from the one I have?- Aitese, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080908-ubun ...
Here is where the plans for 9.04 are laid out. it's about improving usability and integration with the web. If your main concern is the way it looks check out gnomelooks.org. - stupidlefty, on 11/25/2008, -10/+1Gnome still looks like a bland OS9 rip-off so no, the look hasn't changed.
- hardeep1singh, on 11/25/2008, -2/+6I beg to differ, mac is actually a unix ripoff, where as linux evolved from Unix, so your statement should be the other way round.

What an odd coincidence. Thats the same day OpenSUSE 11.1 is released. - FastZ, on 11/25/2008, -7/+2I like and use Ubuntu and all, but these version names are getting ridiculous.

- paulsmith288, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2apart from a new version of mono - any other big changes plannned for this release? The article doesn't say much.
- cmost, on 11/25/2008, -3/+2That's because there isn't much to say about a pre pre pre pre pre alpha you dolt.
- davidkeithjones, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Perhaps this article is just bread filler in the sausage.
- cmost, on 11/25/2008, -5/+2Oooh, oooh...an Ubuntu developer has just taken a giant dump. Let's report it to digg...are there any screenshots??? Sorry guys, but we don't need a running commentary or blow by blow accounting of the development of an OS that has literally just begun. This happens for every single release of Ubuntu. Forget about the stable release (which usually isn't that stable) and hype to death the next big one which always makes big promises. Canonical and Ubuntu fanbois are nothing if not successful at building and sustaining hype for Ubuntu.
- Zounas, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3So, any news from Windows 7?
- Sneakernets, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Says a man that has a Debian Swirl for an avatar.
You guys still pissed off? Ubuntu made Linux actually worth talking about. Debian never even got started.

- championchap, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Everyone always tells me how sexy Linux Mint is.. it looks so ***** boring to me.
I actually prefer the default Ubuntu theme.- MonkeyFarts, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1You can always change the theme, for either one. I don't understand why people complain about how it looks when you can easily change that.

There's a new stable release every 6 months.
They use a time based release schedule. That's how it is. That's how it works.
