If you dont already know, Ubuntus new OS update came out yesterday (officially anyway). It looks impressive! I have desperately tried to find a download, but alas all of the servers are busy! No hurry I guess. Has anyone been able to get a copy? As a switcher, I see myself going from Mac OS to Windows to Linux. Yeah, I know....if Apple made 10.5 open, I would definitely run that.
I tried downloading it during the night as an update and it F-ed up my comp so bad i had to do a fresh install of 7.04 and then do the update again I started at 7:35 in the morning and when i got to doing the actual install of 7.10 im getting loads or errors saying such and such pakage is not going to be installed and such and such is not going to be configured and that count is up to 173 the downloading went flawless i dont know why its messing up now! GRAGH!!!!!! Maybe I should try Kubuntu.

Your lucky that this is one of those rare times Ubuntu and Kubuntu released at the same time. I am personally sick of KDE (until 4 is finally out), but we all have our own flavours.

I am a long time linux user but I much prefer linux on intel machines than PPC. I still use macosx on my iBook. But you could always download it from bit torrent.
i was able to download the ISO image. took me about 7 hours to download. i didn't realize yesterday was the release date. that might be why i was having such a hard time finding a reliable mirror to download it.

so.... i can't figure out how to get this installed. i have the ISO burned for 7.10 but how do i get my macs to recognize it's an OS? really starting to irratate me. i've looked to the site for help but there is not much about installing it on a mac. i would like to install it on any thing from a beige g3 up to my quad.
thanks

i don't know if i've downloaded the right ISO then. The only download for mac PPC i can find on the site is for Xubuntu 6.04... have they not developed Ubuntu for the PPC yet or something? Really wanting to break into Linux here, and i'm having a hard time.
