Thoughts on Karmic so far. How's it shaping up for you?
 
Peter: Love the new boot splash.
Tilda was broken, but works again this morning. Yakuake is working fine though. 
VirtualBox install - so much easier than VMware ever was. Still can't convert my existing VMWare machines though.
Tried using xclip - didn't work.

Closing

So, the day we podcast (mind you this is a day mostly set in stone unless either me or Peter have something better to do...ahem) and the day the "most significant" Ubuntu release ever falls on the same day! Coincidence you say? Perhaps - I on the other hand prefer to think that the "most significant" Ubuntu related "things" are happening because some cosmic alignment of epic proportions is taking place. Hey folks, this is too good to make up so I'm going with it. Now on to the podcast, we experienced a little "technical" difficulty as Peter's connection dropped and the bandwidth allocation seemed to lower suddenly at the same time. This doesn't make for easy listening or editting for that matter. But, I believe everything turned out ok so I won't harp about it any more. After all, it's very rare to have a cosmic alignment and have everything go perfectly. We also tried to do live streaming through Talkshoe.com and I think we might have a lot of the kinks worked out and production should get easier with every passing episode. More on that later. Before I go any further I would like to officially announce the grand unveiling of the new Fresh Ubuntu Podcast Logo! Yet another cosmic convergence! It was designed using the most excellent open source vector graphics program called Inkscape, which makes life so much more easier since the latest release came out. Of course, as we mentioned in the podcast this is a rolling logo in that it could change as distributions are released, so look forward to that. So here is a picture of it:

I promise I will only post one more show about Gutsy....Really! This week we had to give our thoughts on our installations of Gutsy and how we like it. As we mentioned in a prior podcast that we were downloading and installing while we were podcasting. Well, this week we would like to give you our first impressions on Gutsy. Meaning, we want to let you in on what we liked and what we didn't like. We, not surprisingly, had a lot to talk about and the podcast is a little long. I think I clocked it at just over one hour. That is a new record for us breaking a previous record of 45 minutes. We cover the whole gamut of things one could cover in release segment from the interface and the login sound file to the writable NTFS drives by default. We also are critical about a few things, notably, why they left out the compiz manager. One last note, i didn't get any new music this week, it is all recycled so there you have it, the next episode in a nutshell. Oh, and one last thing, from the oops I did it again department, I pronounced asterisk incorrectly, should be pronounced asterisk not asterix:) I think Peter blogged about this, too. Oh well, such is life. Lastly, next weeks podcast we are going to have some very special guests, namely Jay Watkins from the "in the trenches" podcast and David Yates from the "lottalinuxlinks" podcast. Looking forward to that one. Here are the links mentioned on the podcast.
