Better grabbing the torrent while the mirrors sort themselves out

I'm not liking their insistence on including Comiz / Beryl by default. They're still very much beta products and still buggy IME. For example I can't run Gutsy on my Linux box at home without doing some serious messing about in the Xorg config file due to the integrated NVIDIA graphics card.
It should be more of a conscious choice, which it hasn't been up until now (not tried release version yet) My server has been upgraded via command line already. Not sure yet whether I'll bother with my PC here at work. Feisty is working fine.

I can understand the decision Garp. They're trying to get Joe desktop user onto Ubuntu and those users are only going to compare it to Windows, likely Vista. Having some prettyness will help.
So long as the pre-requisite checks work well I'm fine with the choice personally, though I've yet to test that in action myself. Do you know if they've moved vmware-server into the gutsy commercial repository yet?

I'll leave my server box for a while then. I use the vmware-server packages for convenience. If it takes too long for them to sort out newer versions then I'll probably go back to source but I'll give them time for now

Maybe a bit late, but my server is getting a great speed from the torrent.. I'm happy to nab the i386 and 64bit iso's and have them available for a few days for BD folks.

I'd really like to dual boot between Vista and this, but Vista is already using my whole laptop. I've got a few gigs worth of space left. It would be backwards of me to format and partition just to put Gutsy on unfortunately. And i don't want to trust a partition manager when i could lose so much
. Also even with Gutsy installed on a few gig space i'd have no room to play and i still dont entirely trust linux reading and writing to my exisitng NTFS partitions...Someday when i reinstall Vista because its bogged down...
