Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

[Alpha]

 

I'm downloading the latest Ubuntu release as I type this post. Has anyone tried it out yet? I'd like to know what people think about it.

I thought it was pretty good, but still bloated (bluetooth, server utilities, etc). I like how I don't have to install in text mode then install the ati drivers after installing (they come out of the box).

 

Openoffice was screwed up though. I had to install it manually to get it to work.

Does it include any nVidia drivers? I had to install Envy with the LTS version and it didn't work well at all. The operating system runs slow as hell, but I manage to just ignore it.

Yet another OS that is collecting dust on this system.

I don't know. It automatically loaded the open source ati drivers for me, but I can use the proprietary drivers through the restricted devices manager thingie. If your nVidia card is compatible with nouveau, then those drivers will be loaded and you can load the proprietary drivers through the aforementioned restricted device manager.

 

I don't know what you're doing to get it running slow. It's been responsive for me and I didn't even do any tweaks (yet). Here's a collection of tutorials to tweak ubuntu. Many of those tweaks also work with other distros.
