With a limited download plan I'd actually recommend sticking with 8.10 instead.
Generally in the last few weeks there are a fair number of large package 
updates (mostly just to finalise/no major changes but still resulting in big 
downloads)

Hi all,

I'm looking into installing a new xubuntu box for my mum next week. I
want to give the latest 9.04 xubuntu a spin on her 'new/refurbished'
hardware.

As I will be away from next week I can't install her the final release
so it will be either the latest alpha or a daily live build.

What would you recommend? I will test the latest alpha/beta and see how
the hardware does but at some stage she will need to run the update.

On a <500 MB plan downloading a whole distribution update will most
likely leave her without any quota for the rest of the month.

So would it be better to install the possibly latest daily live and hope
that less packages change or does that not matter?


Thanks,

Sebastian
