Hi all,
Ubuntu 10.10's arrived. 10.10 released on 10.10.10 at 10:10:10 (GMT)  B-)

Getting Ubuntu 10.10:

1) If you have already an Ubuntu installed, start update manager, install all updates, then choose the 'upgrade' button.
     (In case the upgrade button not showing up, Alt + F2 , paste "update-manager-d" without quotes, run)

2) For upgrading, If you want to download it once and share it with your friends who have ubuntu 10.04 installed, download the alternate iso from here :
http://goo.gl/6leP (32 bit) and http://goo.gl/sDB7 (64 bit) .. Check md5sum.

       After the download, move the iso file to desktop for convenience , then
         Run these commands in terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)

cd /media
sudo mkdir maverick
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-10.10*.iso /media/maverick
gksu "sh /media/maverick/cdromupgrade"

3) If you don't have ubuntu installed, download it here : http://goo.gl/ODR8 (32 bit) and http://goo.gl/uTIl (64 bit) .

4) Don't forget to check for md5sums of the iso files: List : http://goo.gl/wTc0 . How to md5sum : http://goo.gl/uvWD

5) If you have a slow internet connection, request a cd , totally free of cost : http://shipit.ubuntu.com


After installing Ubuntu 10.10, you may want to do these :

1) Move window controls to right (min,max,close)  Press Alt+F2

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type=string :minimize,maximize,close

2) Run update-manger to install the udpates.

3) Enable drivers if your hardware needs .. System > Admin > Hardware drivers

4) Run this command to install codecs, players, wine etc that I like. Change this to your wish.

sudo apt-get -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras wine vlc devede pidgin amsn libdvdcss2 screenlets playonlinux compizconfig-settings-manager openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin w32codecs flashplugin-nonfree unrar parcellite shutter cheese hardinfo gparted notify-osd community-themes bleachbit

Uninstall ubuntu-docs to recover huge amount of space and also remove the dangerous janitor.. (Use bleachbit installed using the command above instead of janitor)

sudo apt-get -y remove ubuntu-docs bleachbit

5) Stop changing the settings of the new Meerkat for a while and enjoy!!! :P

Playing with the Meerkat,
Gokulakrishna.
