The next LTS (long time support) version of Ubuntu will be released soon. I've been working with the Beta and it has been pretty stable so far. A release candidate has been already published too.

Apparently due to some usability tests, the newly available Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Beta has the window buttons on the left side. This is fine for many and if you are used to keyboard shortcuts you wouldn't care about placement of buttons anyway, but in case you want to have the old style back, this is for you....

I just upgraded my Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" install to Karmic Koala Beta via "update-manager -d". I kept my current menu.lst, which is the default option anyway, other than that I just waited for the process to finish....

This is my GRUB menu.lst to boot Ubuntu 9.04 (now updating to 9.10), OSX86 Leopard, FreeBSD 8b and the Windows 7 bootloader to switch between Windows XP and Windows 7...

- install latest Ubuntu server
- install Xen 3.3
- get Xen kernel from Ubuntu Hardy Heron repos
- add hostonly network:...
