Hey guys/gals. New to the forum, but I had to come say what I thought about Ultimate Edition 2.2. I was impressed with they way you have it setup. Even in live mode before installing, it was fairly fast in responding to opening apps and such, compared to Ubuntu 9.04 with its live mode. I read some where it would take 20 - 25 minutes to install. Well, it only took about 13 minutes on mine, but I guess it really depends on your machine.
I have a MSI MS-1722 GX720 notebook with Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26GHz L2 3MB Cache, 4GB DDR2 800Mhz memory, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT 512MB, Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300, ST9320421AS 320GB SATA 2 16MB 7200 RPM HD.
After the install, I was impressed with all the software installed, which clearly makes you understand the size of the iso. Everything works right from the beginning, but Ubuntu 9.04 pretty much did the same, on mine that is. The only thing I'm still having problems is the sound though, which is a common problem with any linux OS I install. It has a 5 speakers and it always wants to direct the sound through the bass speaker. Been reading quite a few forums trying to resolve this problem, but with no success.
Any ways, figured I would drop a line giving props for the hard work. I will definitely will be downloading 2.3 when it is available.
Maybe mental, but no giant.
