I just installed Ubuntu 9.1 and loving it!

50 GB of music per month!? Who needs that much!? Pay for one month and have music for life.

"Users can purchase and then store the music in Ubunto One"
Typo, should be Ubuntu One

 

[matt314]

So does that mean it can't be stored locally? If so you mine as well use a site like grooveshark...

 

[yay]

To clarify, Ubuntu One is a complete cloud/backup solution. And can i say it works very well. It was introduced in 9.10 and 10.04 promotes its use. The music portion can simply be thought of as super simple Steam (content delivery system)for your drm free music.

That's $10 a month for 50 GB of cloud storage space, not 50 GB of music for $10.

Been thinking about moving my netbook over to Ubuntu ~wink~ . My desktop and my server has already made the jump.

Can't wait for some benchmarks against other major os for apps.

Let's say i'm linux-curious but still not ready to get out of the closet.

Ubuntu one music store and Ubuntu one are not the same thing. Ubuntu one is for general purpose storage, not music exclusively. You don't have to use it, you can store music locally.

Just backed up my Ubuntu 9.10 files and am looking forward to it. Been using Ubuntu as my main OS since 8.04. Since Ubuntu releases 2x a year I use that time to change my password too. I like a fresh install every time.
I always remove the lower task bar and have open applications show on the top task bar instead. Plenty of room for a half a dozen programs at the same time.

$10 a month for music that I have to stream? Hard drives are cheap, don't think that feature is going to be useful for anything but the netbook market.

@ genghiskhanid

phoronix will release comparative tests made on Linux and Windows 7 next week. I think it will be a great read.

I'm waiting to test the Sever Edition.

 

[shloader]

Had a look at the release candidate. It really does boot much faster than prior versions. Had to install it twice, though. GRUB 2 fuqdup.

You didn't even mention that this one supports iphones/ipads/ipod touche's out of the box !!!

That would be cool. While I do not own any of them I see Apple not liking this and maybe trying to stop it with a software hack, uh I mean update.
I don't hate Apple and currently own a MiniMac but Apple is way to much of a control freak. That is why I dropped Apple for my main OS in favour of Linux.

For what? The last time I suggested Mac vs. PC benchmarks I got slaughtered with reasons why OS comparisons on a hardware site was ridiculous. Trust me, I know why. My point is, DO OPERATING SYSTEM BENCHMARKS TOM'S HARDWARE!!!
