   Reviewing 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Alpha 2 (Jan 18, 2010)

   Very very stable for an alpha 2. Did a fresh install over weekend and had no major issues so far. Having trouble to get my NVidia graphic card to work but thats because mine is very old card. Worked very well on Ubuntu Karmic. Few patches are coming up already, lets hope it gets resolved soon. Removal of HAL has definitely improved my boot time. Ubuntu Lucid feels very quick and light compared to Karmic, to me. Extra pane in another noticable thing on nautilus.

   The Ubuntu people need to update their primitive ugly userinterface ASAP.

   It's alpha. Not a beta or release candidate. In other words, you're expected to have problems and provide reasonable feedback to developers. You're also expected to look out for problems with new features.
   
   As it is, you should either try 9.10 (latest stable) or wait a few months for the beta.
   
   That said, this is very usable alpha release, with a lot of helpful docs to navigate around issues. The developer response is stellar (with crahs bugs resolved in the course of two - three days). It's also much more stable than alpha release of 9.10. Kudos to Ubuntu for Launchpad and various measures allowing to get out of most problems (it's really hard to reach unrecoverable state under this system).
   
   Summarizing: you get points for trying this release. Just do set your expectations appropriately.

   Here we go again. Downloaded ok, installed OK, but when reboot system came up in some command mode telling me to hit the tab key to see available command which mean nothing. This is two in a row now...In order to do any kind of testing, it has to at least boot up. Now, I am sure I will get some wise cracks about it being an alpha...so be it...but it still gets a 2 for downloading, burning and installing...what next??
