I think you misunderstand the process somewhat. We slow down updates when trying to release a snapshot, releasing a known good state from a moving target is very difficult. Releasing something solid isn't going to happen by dropping all the changes in at the last minute. We froze for RC last Thursday, and have been working to fix critical bugs since then. We are going through the last steps of testing all the images and checking all is ready, and then the RC will be released. Therefore if you are up to date it is likely that you are running what will be released as the RC. Until the release is announced we may find a critical problem and have to start over again though. So, looking for a large number of updates is the wrong thing to do, you should really be looking for the point when everything stops :-). We'll be doing all this testing over again on Tuesday/Wednesday next week, and anyone is welcome to help with that. It's not that difficult, and really helps the process run smoothly, plus, you can have the final release images before anyone else :-). See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures for information on how to help.

I tried out Ubuntu Netbook Remix and it felt as though it was just a launcher forced over the desktop. Even since the early Alpha's, UNR 9.10 has been a pretty much seamless experience for me on me EEE 701. The only problem I encountered was FreeCiv not fitting on the tiny 7 screen, but that was fixed by using the SDL client instead (and yes, there is already a bug filed). -- Harry Rickards - ha...@linux.com Debian Lenny server | Debian Sid desktop | UNR Karmic netbook A good programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. - Doug Linder Binary is as easy as 01, 10, 11. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
