Updated to 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex

Kubuntu Hardy was not polished enough so I waited for Intrepid to be released and finally I updated to latest version 8.10 at the end of October. The upgrade was smooth except for couple of packages which I think are not hosted on the default Kubuntu repository.
I am still using my old Amarok 1 instead of the latest Ataksak release (2beta3) so I cannot report on anything new yet. From the Amarok Blog it seems that this version is lot more stable and polished and I can start using it. Still I would wait for 2.0 release with good MTP device support. Good to know about this.

Updates ...

It has been ages since I last posted here. Since then Hardy Heron 8.04 had come out and I first installed KDE4 version but had lots of crashes and general instability and wierdness. Then I went to the regular version with KDE 3.5 and when KDE 4.1 beta was released, I finally decided to try KDE4 again. Now although I have it as my main windowing environment, I donot like the fact that I cannot use some of my favourite apps and the polish is still lacking.
I plan to take on porting some of the Amarok plugins I had worked on when Amarok2 final comes out and the APIs are stable. Till then I am still using version 1.4.9
