And about the updates, I go to UT (live about 5mins away), and from their servers, I'm getting download speeds measured in Bytes per second.

This is the first time I've kept a distro installed for so long. I will update after the traffic reduces.
I hope they have greatly increased netbook support.

Bittorrent FTW!! Perfect time to use BT because the more people dl'ing the faster speeds will be. I got both the 32bit and 64bit versions in less than half an hour each. Normal direct-dl servers are prolly hammered to death.
I had a 9.04 cd burned last night. Too tired to install it tho. But I'm gonna update my laptop today.  I always get excited on Ubuntu release days.

It was released a few hours early so i downloaded it work, around midday in the UK. It came down around 1.2MB/s
I like how the gnome black panel thing fades in and out with messages for everything, including pidgin. I also like how the desktop wall now sticks the gnome bars to the screen and just slides the windows around. The Virtualbox included now supports 3d acceleration via OpenGL (and DirectX if you can get WineD3D working in WinXP). Theres also OpenOffice 3.0 and Netbeans 6.5 amidst many other software updates
