News about Ubuntu 11.04

Asked by Margaret Mackintosh

Hi,

After trying all morning unsuccessfully to download Ubuntu11.04, I got to looking for Alternative ways to get Linux. On the Ubuntu download page there is a link to 'alternative downloads or some such'. I clicked on this and got a big list for Ubuntu11.04 and Ubuntu10.04 LTS. I choose to download 'Ubuntu11.04-desktop-torrent.i386.iso (or may be arranged different). A BitTorrent file. Anyway it was a very fast download. There was 58 out of 60 'peers' helping with the download and the speed was over 1000 kbs. So just took a short time compared to the 16 hours I did to get Ubuntu10.04 LTS. Although they had this for the LTS also. Then it was very easy to 'write to disk'. But you know what I REALLY LOVED ABOUT IT. WHEN I RESTARTED IT FROM THE DVD, IT KEPT ALL MY FILES. HOME FOLDERS AND ALL. EVEN MAIL AND CONTACTS ALTHOUGH I ADDED MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD. I had copied everything to a DVD, but turned out not to be necessary. Also I want to add I have been online all day, DID NOT FREEZE OR TURN GRAY ONCE. Whoopie.
