My first impressions for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Ubuntu Intrepid was released one month ago. Although I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 from the time it was officially released I don't have much time to blog.

I made a clean installation of Ubuntu. Mostly because some of my last projects demanded to use applications that needed quick-n-dirty actions so I had to take rid of all the garbages. In fact I was waiting for the Ubuntu release in order to do that.
I can't say that Intrepid has changed a lot but the changes I will mention are practical.
First of all it starts up faster. The "problem" is that it doesn't shut down as fast as Hardy did. I use quotes because I never used a timer to say that Hardy needed x seconds to shut down and Intrepid needs more than x. Hardy shut down when the progress bar was about 80% while Intrepid much reach the 100%.
Extremely useful is the tabbed interface of Nautilus. I had to open two or three Nautilus windows when I wanted to cut-paste some files from my USB Flash. Now I open only one window and three tabs.
Interesting is the new firewall. I like the name a lot, Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw). Simple and really uncomplicated. I didn't like Firestarter a lot because sometimes it halted.
There are some files I installed but time is running out...
