I couldn't install on real hardware, only on VirtualBox. <br>
Couple of observations<br>
<br>
The installer DVD still displays 13.10. Not sure when this is
planned to change, just thought I mention it. I was confused the
first time I installed alpha 2, I epxected something like "14.04 A2"<br>
<br>
There seems to be something funny going with the mouse scroll wheel:
if I scroll down too fast, the menu first jumps up before it scrolls
down. As a result, when at the bottom of a list and still scrolling
it keeps looping over the last few entries. Very annoying to me. I
noticed it first in the applet list trying to install a new panel
applet. When I moved the mousewheel real fast in the file open
dialog from gnumeric, I could make the main gnumeric window jump to
different places on the desktop.<br>
This is VirtualBox, though, so it may be a virtualBox driver problem
but I have not seen that in other version of xubuntu under virtual
box. <br>
<br>
Othrwise it looks great.<br>
<br>
I do have a question:<br>
is anybody testing the behavior of NVidia Optimus support
(bumblebee)with the kernel that gets released? I did see some posts
that bumblebee has a probem with kernel 3.13 and bumblebee not
working would throw me a curve ball when I need to upgrade my main
machine because as 12.04 EOL.<br>
Ditto with wireless. In all my previous updates wireless support
never worked out of the box.<br>
I realise this is probably the ubuntu folks and beyond xubuntu's
scope but may be a consideration for kernel selection (I read a lot
of bumblebee problems with kernel 3.13).<br>
