Introduction 

The Ubuntu team is happy to bring you the latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. This is their latest result, the Ubuntu 9.10 Release Candidate, which brings a host of exciting new features.  

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04

If you are upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04, we have easy-to-follow upgrade instructions.  

New features since Ubuntu 9.04 

Upstart

As part of our boot performance work, we have now transitioned to Upstart native jobs, to let users get to their desktop faster after boot. Upstart is written by Scott James Remnant.  

Software Center

Ubuntu 9.10 RC includes the Ubuntu Software Center, developed by Michael Vogt, replacing 'Add/Remove' in the Applications menu.  

GNOME 

Ubuntu 9.10 RC includes the latest GNOME 2.28 desktop environment with a number of great new features:  

Empathy has replaced Pidgin as the default instant messaging client, introducing the Telepathy framework.  
The gdm 2.28 login manager by William Jon McCann is a complete rewrite compared to the version in earlier Ubuntu releases, permitting a more integrated login experience.  
Evince, the GNOME document viewer, now ships with an enforcing AppArmor profile. This greatly increases security by protecting you against flaws in the historically problematic PDF and image libraries. Users who use a non-standard location for their home directory will need to adjust the home tunable in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home. This profile has been developed by the Ubuntu Security team.

Hi guys,

I have an old Ubuntu, 8.04 . I would like to upgrade it to 9.10. I have the latest CD. So, may I upgrade it straight away or I need to upgrade my 8.04 to 9.04 first?

Thanks in advance

Have to do fresh install because the upgrade f**k up again (same thing happened when upgrading from version 8.** to 9.04).

Spend half day to get everything back to order - install programs, install Firefox addons, Xmarks to sync back my bookmarks and etc ...

It is like nightmare but worth it - 9.10 is better.

Good :-

1) Statup and shutdown are really fast !!!
2) new improved Gnome
3) new wallpapers
4) Samba finally works, I can see my Windows machine share folder/file !!!

Bad:-
1) Where is "Pidgin"?
2) Where are those cool screensaver that I likes :-(
