When I wrote about beta 1 I was pretty positive. That is, 10.04 looked good, some things that were problems for me in 9.04 or 9.10 were fixed and while there were some rough edges, things seemed to almost be there.

Well, beta 2 broke some things and now, at RC, more things are broken. The strangest is that my printer was detected on beta 1 automatically. The printer no longer works. I went back to an older system and it didn't work either. I was about to think the printer died but, as a final test, I booted up the 10.04 beta 1 CD on another laptop and the printer works just fine.

Just in case you are a Linux geek and thinking about Kubuntu or Ubuntu 10.04, I figured I would toss this out. I have a combination of (mostly) 9.04 and 9.10 running on my systems but needed to set up a new system for someone and decided to try the 10.04 beta. This is my very preliminary look.
