differences between Ubuntu 804 and 904??
 
what are the big differences between the new ubuntu and 804-anyone know?

9.04 boots faster, has file manager tabs, updated firefox and open office, ext4 file system, etc.

About a year.

Give or take a day or so.

:D

Ubuntu 8.04 is a ( very ) long term supported version.

Ubuntu 9.04 is only supported for a short time ( a year ? )

"Your a funny guy!"

I'm asking cause I'm gettin ready to hack n slash the HD again-getting rid of debian-too bland...
I want it like this-

sda1 Slackware 12.2 (30GB)

sda2 Ubuntu SE 8.04 (50GB)

sda3 Ubuntu 9.04 (20GB)

sda4 Extended

sda5 EXT2 testing partition(remastering DSL,etc) (10GB)

sda6 swap (1GB RAM= 2.5GB swap)

sda7 FAT32 File storage (36GB)

This is it now-

Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x8f800200

  Device Boot      Start        End      Blocks  Id  System
/dev/sda1              1        3533    28378791  83  Linux
/dev/sda2  *        3534        5670    17165452+  83  Linux
/dev/sda3            5671      10979    42644542+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4          10980      19457    68099535    5  Extended
/dev/sda5          14931      19457    36363127+  b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda6          10980      11690    5711044+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7          11691      12921    9887976  83  Linux
/dev/sda8          12922      14601    13494568+  83  Linux
/dev/sda9          14602      14930    2642661  82  Linux swap / Solaris
I have to somehow move my files from the FAT32 to a couple of the top partitions and then recreate it like I want-
Any suggestions?
Thankx

OH-why is it only good for a year?

When is the next Ubuntu LTS coming out??

Mmmm, maybe it won't get installed....

Anyway-still gonna redo the HD-
I really believe it's prudent to have multiple distro's on your PC-
Why?
Some distro's can do things other's can't and/or you have to go through a process to do it.

For instance, GTK-RecordmyDesktop(Ubuntu) is not available for Slack(I think..), while neither SBOPKG or SRC2PKG are available for Ubuntu.

Being a "point n click" type, Ubuntu "holds my hand" while I learn Slack and other similar distro's.

Do you guys agree-disagree-
"Better to have multiple partitions/OS's or No?"

I think all program's work on all distro's, mostly they are in the repo's, and if not you still have the source.

If you want to learn to use different systems yes
However it is better to stick to 1 distro, so you can learn it completely.

linus72 04-24-2009 07:24 AM
Does that mean GTK apps can be installed to Slackware 12.2?

repo 04-24-2009 07:27 AM
Why not ?

i used to dual boot ubuntu and zenwalk.but after a while, i became lazy in administering two OS on the same machine.i then repartition my HD and just installed one OS, slackware(thanks to my experience with zenwalk).having one distro on my machine also let me concentrate learning linux instead of looking at the different features the different distro has to offer(i can get distracted easily. ;))

ubuntu releases LTS every two years, i think.

Logical, since it is a tool for easily making Slackware packages from source code and precompiled binaries.
ubuntu and debian have tools to create deb packages from source

Unrelated Repo-can you see if this download link works for my new go-daddy hosting site-it's the dsl thing, you don't have to use it or anything-just download it or see if it starts??

Linus72,
Just tried your download link and got a PHP file.
Is that right?

I think Ubuntu support is 18 months for a regular release.

These seem to occur on even-numbered years.

I agree, the more the better. My main reason is that redundancy will guarantee that I'll always have a working distro, but I also enjoy trying out different ones. I run nine separate installs on my main machine.

No-it should be a 95MB zip file...?
