Ooooh. Sounds interesting. Only thing that really stopped me install Ubuntu on my laptop last time was the older code like OOo 1.1.x. This preview release looks nice. Might have to source a few copies when it is finally release. Re-evaluate my choice of FC4 etc. Though I must admit FC4 is working fine for me so far.
Ray got Ubuntu to send him swags of CDs of the last version. What is the timeframe on the 5.10 final release?
I was told October 13th. shipit.ubuntu.com can take 6 weeks to deliver and apparently they'll process existing orders last so if you already got Warty, expect to wait!
On behalf of the LUG, I got 100 CDs shipped "next day international" when they were released, and they were still a little bit late for the installfest. Assuming the new committee still choose to be blinkered by Ubuntu, we might schedule the next installfest to be slightly later next year, so we can get the same deal. I won't bother asking for it on behalf of the LUG for this release, but recommend that if people want Breezy CDs they just copy them themselves, as they do take a while to get here. Someone should get onto Canonical and see if shipit can subcontract Software Images or something :) Craig
