Inteprid Ibex Alpha 6 impresions.

As I did with hardy alpha 6 , i downloaded the iso un Sunday, willing to tested on a vmachine.

But on Monday I changed my mind , decided to install it on my laptop (also have a little talk with nxvl)

Here are my impresions about the all process

Boot & Installation

• Cd boot as spected
• Properly displayed the menu
• Direct intallation never boot
• Live Session worked fine
• Installation from live was ok (like the new partition graphics)

Installation process reported no problem

Log in &  hardware Configuratión

• GDM worked
• my display resolution was 800×600 (I have a Nvidia chipset)
• Sound worked
• USB ports worked
• Keyboard worked except from some fn keys (they worked good on hardy)
• Touchpad a little slow
• Integrated Webcam worked (checked with Gnome cheese)
• Jockey crash, couldn’t test atheros driver provided for it

For my nvidia chipset configuration I traid EnvyNG but it never opened, i manually download the driver and installed after i return with a better resolution.

Customization & Software

• Great look
• New human Theme Rocks!
• Pidgin works fine
• OpenOffice 2.4 is quite fast now (waiting ooo 3)
• Rhythmbox works very
• Terminator didn’t open
• The new network configuration interfase works fine but can be a little confuse

here is my Desktop

To Do.

• Test sound recording
• Test LiveUSB from live session
• Test Suspend and Hibernate
• Test DVD playback
• Tray to make work the applications that didn’t work

So far Intrepid is rocking!!
