Ubuntu 10.04 Beta Released


I am on the fence about upgrading to the beta release of Ubuntu 10.04. It is easy enough to try, and it is ooh so tempting.

Simply hit alt-F2 on your keyboard and type: update-manager -d in the pop-up window, and then you are presented with the upgrade option. I have the Update Manager window sitting before me with the magical upgrade button sitting before me this very minute. Ubuntu 9.10 has been running great so far with nary a glitch of hang. The desktop also looks very sweet with Bisigi themes displayed.

Should I press it??

From using TestDrive with the daily... it looks great!

Not Yet, the Beta was postponed, so you would get the 3rd alpha.

Since it was postponed until today (Friday 3/19), I would say no, not until its been released.

But, I'm personally using 10.04 Alpha, and haven't noticed any issues, although my version doesn't have the new user interface yet.
