Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was finally released last week, and I just managed to upgrade it today. Unlike Mandriva, to upgrade Ubuntu, I needed to use the alternate CD image instead of the normal one.
The upgrade took about an hour, which was actually quite long for such a newly installed system. However, on the bright side, it could be done while the system was running.

The Ubuntu guys boasted about the 10 second startup time. And in fact, my new system booted really fast. I doubt if it's as fast as 10 seconds though :P

There's a very annoying problem with the new Gnome button layout: the minimize, maximize, and close button are moved to the top left of the windows, whichever theme you use. A guide to fixing that problem is available here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/
