What do you guys think of Intrepid Ibex?

I like it! My only pet peeve is the Networking Settings box. Yes then new version does have better support for a more variety of wireless drivers, however, I don't like the new settings window, I find it more difficult to manually connect to wireless networks. But it is still an improvement over how 8.04 was set up.

I still can not connect to my university's wireless; they use WPA2 with RADIUS ( I think ? ) because we need to log in to use the service.

I haven't been able to install it yet(trouble backing up my files) I'm planning on doing a complete format and fresh install of Ibex once I have backed up everything.

Regards,

Alan.
