Hi Ian
However, it seems that 14.10 will not exactly be a bundle of newly found excitement. Looking through comments on-line it doesn't look like 14.10 will have the much awaited MIR...
"Summary: Despite optimistic 2011 predictions of a fully converged cross-platform OS running Mir and UnityNext (8) by 2014, Ubuntu 14.10 is set to retain X Windows and Unity 7. Based on this beta, it seems there will be no big changes in 14.10, although upgrading is always worthwhile."
"Mark Shuttleworth said he does not now expect Mir as default on the desktop until Ubuntu 16.04 LTS at the earliest..."
2016? Wow, that's still ages away. Didn't think so that it would take that long. But then I guess, people always underestimate the complexity of GUIs... Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
