Ultimate Edition 2.0 has been released

[TheeMahn]

Thanks for the hard work, looking forward to Ultimate Edition 2.0
I recently saw this over at Phoronix,
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a ... 2008&num=1
does anyone know if Ultimate 2.0 has this same problem, or is it just vanilla Ubuntu?

EDIT: Just found that this topic is also in the Ultimate Edition 1.9 forum.

I droped benchmarks yesterday for Ultimate Edition 2.0. You tell me? x64 is faster btw.

Will 2.0 solve this stupid hardy kernel bug?

I can't burn CD/DVD on my 1.9 so far, if I want to do it, I need to put the empty media in the drive, then restart, and only then the media is detected. What if I need another copy of the same thing? Put another media, reboot again, and then burn again!
It's silly!! It worked great on Gutsy!
I always say, if you do something good, keep doing it, why screw something that works?

As far as crossfire is concerned, I want to know if Hybrid Crossfire works. My mobo supports hybrid crossfire with 3000 series cards.

Really glad to see AMD will not be a problem in Ultimate Edition as it is in Ubuntu.

That I could not tell you without further investigation, Google is your friend I currently do not have the time, I just paid for another server today also unlimited bandwidth / storage and have to fill it It will be nice to have around when Ultimate Edition 2.0 drops.

about 4 terabytes less then a month 1 server soon to be 2

I bet once released at least 1 TB a day, crazy isn't it. Paul told me he was seeing solid 1 TB a day from 1.9's release. Just feeding a hungry crowd Do not think for a second I will not buy another if the demand is there.

What the heck is wrong with them??? "Importance undecided" ??? They still didn't decide how important can be for a regular person to be able to burn CDs without having to reboot the computer for every single CD???

This is not my case, I guess you're luckier than me

Gosh!!!!

I am sorry brother I want you to understand it is not my doing, I have no control over what comes down, sure I can fix it find me a fix and I will fix it in the distro. I have done the same for some wireless users. You will be under a heavy time constraint, I will begin building what will be Ultimate Edition 2.0 final Friday.

For those concerned... Ultimate Edition 2.0 will be released in 3 flavors, 2.0 x86, 2.0 x64 & and a Gamers edition (x86 based), I have slacked bad in this department and will now step up to the plate. I think I will copy that to the "main" post, this means I am committed

Throw out your discs and burner and get a big(8,16,32 or 64 gig) usb flash drive. This will solve your problem!!

I don't know if you seen my post on USB and agree with you it installs faster then from a dvd & you can always erase it

Edit: I see you read it, you posted after me

As usual, if you are in need of another mirror, my hosting will be upgraded to unlimited space/bandwidth by this weekend.

I'd also be more than happy to up and download to where ever you need via my fiber connection.

I know, I have an old 250GB SATA2 HD which I keep outside the PC on an external USB2 Box adapter, for backups, I also have a couple of USB drives 2GB and 16GB, that's also for many tasks, my last install of 1.9 on my laptop was done from the 2GB USB drive, and that was even before TheeMahn posted that thread about the USB install.
But, in some cases, I do need to burn stuff, for example, last week my son wanted to watch a movie we downloaded in DivX, and we wanted to watch it on my DVD player and my 37" LCD TV, which are in a different room, so I just wanted to burn it, just as simple...

I know, I can connect the PC to the TV and all that, but it's not practical for me right now! And I want to burn a freakin CD, is that asking for too much???

TheeMahn, I know this is not up to you, and this has to do with kernel and related stuff, I'm not expecting you to fix it for me, it's up to ubuntu's community that haven't yet decided how important can be for a user to be able to burn a damn CD. I don't think you should be busy with patching kernels right now...

Also, I have a proposal and I'd like you to consider it heavily and give it a thought.
Don't you think you could decide to stop killing yourself with new distros all the time?
I think Ubuntu is exagerating with a new release every 6 months, but whatever...
You could decide that you make a release after the official Ubuntu's are out final, let's say your versions could be from now on 2.05 and 2.11, or if you like, use the same numbers as Ubuntu y.mm but one month AFTER the official release. This way, you have two advantages, one full month to be aware of the caveats, bugs, needed fixes, updates, etc, after the ubuntu release and go out with a very strong, stable, fixed, full of updates release (not that they aren't like this nowadays, don't get me wrong)
The other advantage is to get easy on yourself, once you get this release out, you have 6 months to fix, add, update, improve, etc, the current release, while still having tons of time to work on a new release.

I think we all love your distros, but I guess we could all manage and enjoy one of your distros for 6 months too. If I compare it to Windows (excuse me for that) I still install XP when needed, I don't see why I need to go with Vista yet, and XP was released when? Years ago! So why Linux can't be stable also in matters of version?

I think because every one of your distros are 10 times better than its predecessor, there's no way someone will say "nah, 1.9 it's great, I won't install 2.0 for now..." Even if you could release a distro every week, most of us would install it right away, format every week? no problem!!
So, give yourself some air, work less hard, and give us 4 distros a year, 2 main releases, both 32 and 64 bit, and then two relative gamers editions. Isn't it enough?
Again, this is my opinion. This way you could spend more time helping us all with problems, updating the forums, support and help the different "maintainers" of the websites, repos, programming, etc. We can take some load off your back, but we still need you around to help us help you...

Think about it, all of you, and tell me what do you think.
