1. Installation:
Pretty much remains the same (as in Ubuntu 10.04), except a few notable additions, including informations about the Ubuntu One Music Store. (Sequential screenshots from a virtual machine given below)

2. Booting Process - The booting process is now insanely fast. It took me about 7-8 secs to start Ubuntu 10.10 alpha 2 on a virtual machine. Although practical booting time may increase, I doubt if it will be any more than 15 seconds.
3. Changes :
Ubuntu Software Center
It now has a History tab and better management of repositories, and now an all new "Whats New" section.


Pulse Audio
The volume options are now looking better than ever.

Other than that its pretty much Ubuntu 10.04. This is of course expected as its just an alpha 2 release. So, fingers crossed for a great release a few months from now.
help needed..
ReplyDeleterecently installed ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop. it had windows xp home edition with c,d,e partitions before..
I installed ubuntu 10.04 using CD & selected "Eraseand use entire hard disk option"
I'm unable to use the HDD space.. it is not displayed in "places" either.
From System->Administration->Disk Utility
3 volumes are shown
1. 58GB ext4 (grayed out) mounted at / (device:/dev/sda1)
2. Extended 2.5GB (device:/dev/sda2)
3. 2.5GB Swap space (device:/dev/sda5)
how would I make use of 58GB space.. also need to format the space

this could happen because of a lot of problems. there are complicated ways out, but i would really suggest that you stick to formatting the hard drive again. this will not only save your time, but also significantly reduce hassles.
