The Ubuntu team is proud to announce Ubuntu 5.10. This is the official Ubuntu 5.10 release, and includes installation CDs, live CDs, and combination DVDs for three architectures.
I downloaded the latest x86 version this week for kicks. I liked the previous version but I seem to remember having trouble booting the live version on one of my PCs. This version did not have a problem with my PCs. It did seem to run slowly on the AMD3000 PC but I suspect the AMD version would be much faster. The menus are almost identical to my version of Fedora FC4.
To mount my existing Fedora LVM I used the following commands:
sudo mkdir /media/hdb
sudo lvdisplay
sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /media/hdb
To mount my existing NTFS partition I used the following commands:
sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

I finally tested my main workstation. It is an old 677 MHz PC with a 3dfx Voodoo3 video board. Ubuntu set it up for 640×480. Seeing that big arrow mouse pointer was a real flashback. The biggest problem I had was remembering how to get into setup on the Intel motherboard so I could put the CD-ROM back into the boot check. The answer is: press and hold F2 during the boot.
