Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was officially released on Oct-31. Since I had tested Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on Compaq Evo N610c I was eager to give Ubuntu 8.10 a spin on the same laptop. I did a fresh install and the installation is very smooth. A seven step wizard guides you through the install process and you are up and running very quick on Evo N610c.
