Hi all,

Just a quick question, I'm planning to install the Kde3 Remix of Jaunty for myself as well as a friend (which is why I'm asking so that I can give them an estimate, I'm happy to just wait myself!)- as such I was wondering if there is an ETA on the final release of this? Or will we be able to upgrade from the release candidate using apt?

Thanks in advance,

cjp

Hi cjp,

I am currently waiting for the PPA build system to finish kde-guidance-kde3. When this is done I can compile the final CDs, so tentatively look for them tonight. At worst they will be available tomorrow.

Yes, you will be able to upgrade with APT, but you won't automatically get kde-guidance-kde3 if you do that.

Thanks for your interest!

Were there be torrents made of the final? Downloading CD from repo is slow and error prone.

Thanks Robert

Hi Robert,

For sure! :-) In fact, I prefer that you use torrent of possible; it lessens the strain on my servers and, when enough people are downloading simultaneously, I have seen download speeds in excess of 1Mbit/sec!

Tim,

That will be great. I was looking for one to try the RC2 version but couldn't find one. There isn't one listed on http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages/ that was listed on the kubuntu websites.

Thanks Robert

Hi Robert,

There is (and always has been) a torrent link for the CD images. I have attached a screenshot of the http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages/ page with the torrent links highlighted.

Sorry if my page was confusing!

I would swear that wasn't there earlier this week.
