Some cool features in Firefox3.... :-)
Smart Bookmarks
The Remember Password dialog doesnt obstruct the Page Load.

And as for Hardy, install went cool (Triple Boot). Compiz Fusion Worked out of the box. Just clicks on the Synaptic Manager.
 
Installed Hardy Heron,
Some how the mp3 quality is bad all the players.

Going to install amarok and then try :) hope that works
 
Hey ... Sounds slutter even for me. Whenever there is some window activity like minimize/maximize the music slutters. :( :S

CPU utilization shoots up to 90% when system monitor is opened. :@ :@
 
thats "stutter" :P must be the pulseaudio issues which people are complaining about on ubuntuforums.org. even tho this is supposed to be an LTS release the developers released new untested stuff like pulseaudio knowning about the issues... can you try uninstalling pulseaudio and installing alsa... i am not sure how to do it, audio works fine for me. i was always worried since the early days of hardy about why ubuntu people are adding so much new unstable stuff for an LTS... maybe that is why they have an update release scheduled for june/july version 8.04.1 :) i guess gutsy was a super release.
 
Just change the audio output device from pulseaudio to alsa or oss. I don't think you need to uninstall it.

P.S : pulseaudio works for me, but the sound output (volume) level is on the lower side
 
ya volume was low for me too, raised both the main and front volume sliders to full to bring it to XP normal levels
 
^^Lets hope everything gets fine with 8.04.1 :S I mean the problem people are facing with Pulse Audio :| Intrepid Ibex will be a more stable and beautiful release with full make over of Ubuntu theme and wallpaper:)Though I haven't yet tested the final release :P Stilll playing with KDE 4 Remix :ashamed:
 
Well until and unless I'll test it, I won't say anything about it :P have to test Mandriva too.. Darn I am on 128Ul so can't even think of d/l ISO :@ .. :@ Relying on brother 2 Mbps net connection... :| ANy 1 got the CD's .. How is the new CD cover ? I can't find any images of new Cd cover ?
 
@reef_d : gutsy is a good update to have. then you can wait until intrepid. me too waiting to see how the new theme turns out. luckily i read on a blog they are going back to more brown themes away from the increasingly bright orange which im beginning to find annoying... plus, the push for intrepid will be "internet everywhere" or something like that. i hope that means much better laptop/wireless support and i hope my tablet pc's touchscreen will work out of the box too - fingers crossed :)

FOSSwire: We’ve seen the base color scheme for Ubuntu change from brown, to caramel, to orange over the years. Are there plans to alter it any more?

Wimer: I think that we are slowly moving back from orange into the caramel and browns. One issue that has come up is that there is too much orange. Orange in itself is a color often used in warnings, etc.
