Beta Testing
The Unforgiving Thinkpad has just been updated to the beta release of Ubuntu 7.10. Haven’t fully explored the new features yet; I’m too busy playing with Compiz Fusion effects.
A sample video (not mine).
One nice discovery: the video driver for the laptop’s Radeon 9600 is giving about 30% better performance under 7.10. In fact, it’s working better than ever.
Updates to follow…
Ran into any problems yet? I’m running 7.04 but the new feature list of 7.10 seems to be quite nice. Might try to install it this week.

7.10 has been basically perfect so far. There’s still a BUNCH of updates coming out every day so expect to do a lot of downloading…
