New Ubuntu Beta!

The beta for Ubuntu 7.04 just came out, so I upgraded my laptop. I was going to just run the upgrade software, but it said it had to download about 1000 files and take about 2 hours. It was quicker for me to just download the beta LiveCD over BitTorrent (about 5 minutes), but the ISO file to a CD (about 5 minutes), and just do a fresh install (about 30 minutes). I know I lose all my current configuration files, but who cares. Apparently ubuntu 7.04 has better wireless support, although I'm going to have to reinstall the Windows drivers for my wireless card using ndiswrapper. It's not like I had any personal files on there anyway.

The install went smoothly and so did the subsequent partial upgrade. That's all I have time for right now.
