Ubuntu 8.10 RC - small review
October 24th, 2008
I only ran Ibex from the Live CD. The suspend seems to have stopped working, when I suspend and resume then I get a working system, but no mouse cursor and a black screen. Killing X works, but it’s not nice. That made me not upgrade.
Very positive is that it’s FAST. Not only Gnome works smoothly, but Firefox is just incredible. I’ve visited sites that I know have a lot of, very slow, javascript and they worked just amazingly fast. The bug that the passwords for multiple wireless networks are lost seems to be fixed.
It looks good, not special, but I knew that. I’m a bit disappointed about the suspend/resume not working. I hope that will be fixed before the release, because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the fast resume in the beta.
