We're Going to be Testing Ubuntu 9.10

Posted on October 9, 2009 by Jesse Zylstra

We are going to be testing Ubuntu 9.10 (on “the” laptop, not the server yet…), and we plan on making this a progressive update.

Once we actually are able to get the download going, and once we get things running and test out the new features, we will tell you ASAP if we consider it stable on our hardware. Basic hardware specifications:

1.73GHz CoreDuo (32 bit)
2GB of RAM
120GB HDD
nVidia GeForce GO 7300 Graphics Card
Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Inspiron e1505

Special testing software:
Email connected to Gmail, the new messenger program using GoogleChat, MSN/Live, and Yahoo Messengers.
Also, The Sims 3 PC Game on Ubuntu 9.10 under PlayOnLinux and WINE.

Main focus at this time: Getting it installed and finding out if it’s “stable”.
