So Sunday has passed and I’ve decided to keep Ubuntu Hardy Heron installed on my system. So far the only problem was the one with GRUB. Other than the annoyance of calling all my disks xxxGB Media, everything’s running smoothly. I know this Ubuntu version doesn’t bring all that new goodies as one would expect, but honestly the “LTS” flag doesn’t allow for extravagances. For that wait for Interpid Ibex in October…

So here are the new stuff I liked:

• The new Compiz version + the Nvidia drivers run smoother than ever on my card. I had some problems in Gutsy that kept me from using Compiz. Those are now gone.
• Transmission is AMAZING!!
• Vinagre rocks as a Remote Desktop App
• The new F-Spot version looks really good
• I simply ADORE the Youtube Plugin in Totem. (hint: even better is this Youtube H.264 plugin)
• The APT system is super fast. It’s simply incredible

Let’s see how the coming weeks go…
