Grabbed it about an hour ago from the well-seeded torrents. Helps keep the load off their main servers.

Known possible bugs?
So what's the "killer" feature(s) on 9.1?
Not to mention they were gunning for a 10 second boot time. I don't think they got that one covered, however...

I'm not thrilled with the sudden switch to EXT4 as the default file system. The data loss bug that was discovered with it (has that been patched yet?) shows that it's in need of more testing.
I'm having the exact opposite experience. The more I use 9.10, the more I want to be back on 9.04. It really feels like an unfinished, beta quality, version. Some design decisions don't make sense (notifications fill half the screen on a netbook), some features are outright broken, and what's the deal with having 5 different ways to access the package manager?I still have win 7 on my netbook as a dual boot, but this is really the first time I've installed any linux distro and didnt want to pull my hair out within 5 minutes
Man...I was looking forward to this...but it's been a piece of shit so far. So many things not working off Synaptic...
... So many things not working off Synaptic...I spent the past 4 or 5 hours downloading updates, only to watch them fail one after one at the 50% mark. ...
This is more than likely due their servers being hammered by everyone downloading the release and updates. I downloaded it via torrent and installed it yesterday evening without any issues. I did experience a few hiccups when adding programs via aptitude, but I expected it due to all the people hitting their servers for updates.
Overall experience so far.. too early to tell, but it's not that bad. A couple of issues I haven't gotten figured out yet, and I am not sure I like empathy over pidgin, but I just need to use it some more.
Maybe, but if that was the case, it should have errored out during the download, the not the installation, right?
Strangely, coinciding with the biggest release of Windows in a long long time we have:
...
Now Ubuntu 9.10, just released today, hours ago really, and already majority opinions are "it sure seems rushed, unfinished... the older version is better" and that opinion is growing, by leaps and bounds.
...
Not good... not good at all.
And to those bitching about it not being stable: Go download the LTS and use that. Problem solved. The next TLS comes out in 6 months, and it should be a fairly feature rich, stable release.
This argument always pisses me off. They should be adding new features and software during the beta phase, this is a final release (weather it's LTS or not, they've still said it passed Beta and RC stages). Anything that wasn't ready for prime time should have been removed by the time the RC was being tested so that the finished features could be debugged and made ready for a polished public release.this isn't an LTS release, so this is when they (should) try to dick around with new features/software (say, different sound servers) to get things ready for the LTS release.
What Icon set are you using? I really like it, I like that your Wifi signal strength is a different color!I was the aforementioned friend with the screenshot, here's another:
Hi, by the way, I'm the new guy.
