Ultimate Edition Forum

07/23/09: We have a release & I am glad I paid for the new server it is spitting out over 2 Gigabytes of info a minute. Solid hosting on six separate servers through out the US. If they remain up I will drop a link of who they are and so far they come highly recommended. I may move all servers there if they hold out. More expensive, but obviously well worth it. I have dropped screenshots of it in admin section crazy speed. I can see stats in realtime something I can't do with current hosting as this site is hosted on. 2GB a minute hmm that sounds like a happy customer roughly every minute

07/22/09: The webpage for Ultimate Edition 2.3 is not even finished. Are you a registered forum member? Have it today.

07/17/09:
Here it comes gents, announced to my admin, not 2 minutes ago:

Ultimate Edition 2.3 x64 Final is uploading 254 upgrades from the 2.3 beta many from Ultamatix repo (also integrated in the 3rd party sources), newer kernel BTW -14 and a updated theme the red menus are history. Added Ultamatix released today, set a "announcement" on the Ultimate Edition homepage. The download server has been feeling the feeling ever since with a minute or 2 of the announcement I went back and checked the stats and it had already been downloaded 10 times

Ultimate Edition 2.3 size: 2.2 GB (2,378,180,608 bytes) too large for Main Download Server so it will be pushed to The new server.

Lets see now what is next on my agenda:

x86 is next on the agenda

Good thing about it is I can build it from x64 unlike x64 from x86.

Amazing what I can accomplish when I lay off the "Sauce", reap what you sew eddie

Give me a day or 2 both will be sitting there and we will have a release. I may give you gents a day or 2 to grab them both, before I unleash it on the world. The exception to that rule will be if I get dugg for Ultamatix or similar.

Enjoy Gentlemen,

TheeMahn

A few shots after installed, I may make a new screen cast alot has changed since the "Beta":


Mental note: Buy gigabit router the "bottleneck", I have 3 comps networked here SledgeHammer (mine), ClawHammer & a Piece of junk called BallpeanHammer


Actually I am going to build Ultimate Edition 2.3 x86 & worry about screenshots later.

I will come back and put up more screenshots later of KDE environment, I do not want to log out I am uploading

already got hard drive space ready!!

Should have known... admins / mods are probably "watching" my posts It just may put a dent in your hard disk, it is large once installed, you will see tomorrow.

Hey Thee, Ultimate Edition 2.2 is darn near perfect for me, so many things work right out of the box! I am installing it on another computer as I type this. I will have 2 computers waiting for 2.3 as well! Can't wait to see your great works of art!

I am going to be straight with you. I only created Ultimate Edition 2.3 to address users of KDE it is basically Ultimate Edition 2.2 hyped up with a new theme (kubuntu customisations are currently on hold does not mean it will stay that way), I made btw using Azenis & J.J Yangs work; not that I had to ask permission as they are released GPL, and still did. I did however toss the Icon theme in the trash it was artistic license, I have gimped I bet 9000+ icons that are GPL since The theme in the screencast that is coming has changed I bet 100 times since; it is a screencast of me installing it on one of my local beta testers system. The software you see has changed the theme tons.

Ever heard the term "best of both worlds"? with this you have 3.

I will drop the screencast once it has finished uploading to youtube... My admin are now saying don't do that slows down my ability to download it My bandwidth is now fully saturated. I have crap for an internet connection. I am NOT refering to our servers or mirrors It has to get there somehow right

This is not karmic based Ultimate Edition 2.4 will be see post above yours. Do you think I should make one for admin to test? this is what worries me I base on stable. I will not drop public as they do, please think about what I just said. I want you to do the math on this one... Public beta testing based on what I said, but please realise I am but 1 man

Hey Thee, Thanks for letting me know that 2.3 is going to be more or less KDE. I like the gnome interface better but I haven't tried any Linux Distro's recently with the newer KDE. So, I would still try it out, that is why I have so many older computers to play around with. I am never totally satisfied it seems and I have tried out about 12 different Linux distro's. Recently I tried out Yellow Dog on my Mac G4's and G3, but all 3 installs ended in failure. All 3 installs ended with install complete, reboot and have fun. Rebooted and all 3 had the blinking ?. So, no joy at all, there forum was no help at all either, so all 3 have a Mac OS. Right now I removed Jaunty and installed your Ultimate Edition 2.2 on one computer.

Your work just works so well for me! I need to update my sig!

Woops-mistaken somewhere. Thought it was going to be Karmic based. No worries, will still be getting my grubby hands on it to test No I think you should not pre release unstable version either

if we release unstable, then we go the way of windows. its one thing to pay for the right to beta test software. another to have it free. but when you pay for it, and no one tells you that you are beta testing it....

VISTA!!

Based on your sig... are you trying to tell me you want to be a beta tester? I get those requests all day long No Ultimate Edition 2.3 is Ultimate Edition 2.2 upgraded & additions this means Gnome, KDE, XFCE side by side in a single distro, the bonus's I refer to are requested XBMC for example GTK based antivirus scanner not for Ultimate Edition, but to scan your windows drive Lanshark is not in Ultimate Edition 2.2 lets see if it is in Ultimate Edition 2.3 once again an example, does not install in Ultimate Edition 2.2 chroot I am way beyond that. The errors software makers make I clean up. Do I slander them NO, my admin can see some of what I see. I do not file "bug reports" if I can fix them w/o an overhaul. Everything just comes easy to me. KDE has been anything, but easy to me, but I am always learning.

Let me try and break this down, eventually I will know virtually everything about KDE, gnome to me is now on the back burner & when I am done have a full audience. Did you know I see things happen in real time & could say don't do that... it is not in compliance... Who makes those decisions in our *nix world? I am not talking debian, ubuntu, but *nix based O/S's? No my name is not lintian. I will however always take that extra step to ensure your Ultimate Edition 4.4 & what lintian does not catch Ultimately this is what gets me I am but 1 man, how many do they have?

and thanks btw,
TheeMahn

I can attest to Thee's fixes. done seen the logs before and after the fix, and so glad i get to beta test. now the in house alphas, on the other hand. They get to play with the fire. borking and reinstalling, reinstalling and reborking their sytems and we betas get it just as the glue is beginning to dry. then we try rip the seams out a little and chew on the corners if there are still issues we cry and whine and moan and tell Thee " hey it won't work wit my system, I tried this that and the other then went over to canonical posted my comlaint. went to google and came back here... now how do we fix it?
