For all fans of this user friendly distro, I would like to share my review of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy). Any opinions are acceptable.

Excellent! I saw it on distrowatch and was impressed. Good work!

Excellent review and really appealing. I am new to Ubuntu. Just moving from debian yesterday.

Anyway, is it difficult to upgrade from Feisty? Thank you.

How can you do a complete, in-depth review on a distro thats not final release yet.

I dunno IGF - seemed reasonable to me. Both the review and the product.
FWIW, the beta looks pretty slick on my box - really like the clearlooks.

Not at all. It could be done just the same way as in debian, or there is a nice gutsy upgrade guide explaining ubuntu way.

At first of all, Ubuntu team has a feature plan, and at the second, review is made upon the beta, which has most of the features implemented (I've checked it with a release plan), but probably with bugs.

Nothing agaist the review, but I agree with the statement above. People should wait until the final release before posting "Complete Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) review".

I never saw any articles about "Complete MS Windows XP review" when XP was still in beta.

PS.
I'm an Ubuntu user. Feisty (7.04) is still the current release.

Take a paxil, I wasn't slamming your review. I actually didn't even bother reading it simply because I wasn't going to waste my time reading a review on a beta release, not the final release. I'm not debating that this version is probably very close to what we're gonna end up with in the final release, I just think if you want to write an accurate review, you need to wait for the final release.

I'm sure the review was good, etc of the beta release. However to title the thread "Complete Ubuntu 7.10 review", is pretty inaccurate, since you don't know what will be missing from your review when its release is final.

Just my .02(by the way, I'm dualbooting Mint and Gutsy on my laptop, I agree, it has LOTS of promise). Once its final, I'll probably remove Mint.

I read the review. I thought you did well to point out improvements. I also heard the there were improvements in the screen/monitor resolution software.

If from that point - yore are right. Actually word 'compete' was inspired by someone's backlink to the article, while it self doesn't have such. Though, I don't think that much will change. Maybe only some minor points. So, the article should not point to something wrong.

I hope this is true. On Kubuntu 7.04 I have 'inconsistencies' with the resolution software conflicting with nvidia-settings constantly. Even worse is that the sharpness of the resolution seems to change when resetting my xserver, even though the xorg.conf doesn't change. I've gotten past this now, I just hope this issue doesn't arise in Gutsy.

It looks *awesome* on my 20" widescreen. Even offered to go and get the nvidia driver for me.

window media still crashes, java and flash are borked under x86_64, and realplay is iffy. Fedora 7 passed this 6 months ago, in 64 bit. time to step up to current there, Ubuntu. Not impressive.
