    Tryed livecd but won't boot from mine USB flash -it is still a beta, not for regular use.
    It seems quite the same as 9.10 and I'm considering not to upgrade this time, although it is a LTS version. As far as I understood, 10.04 development is being done mainly in the background software, including the big aim at boot speed, and 10.10 will bring some more bleeding edge user interface options that I will want.
    But I'll surelly give it a try on a usb disk.

    I installed it on my AAO-110 (8Gb, SSD, 1,5Gb RAM) without any problems.
    / = ext2 SSD ; /home = ext2 on sd-card (left card reader)
    Boot: very fast
    The machine is much more responsive than with all earlier netbook-remixes
    Wifi transfer is interrupted sometimes.
    As it is a beta: bugs come and go, but up to now they didn't break the system
    One or the other mostly background program is crashing now and then, without bigger impact on the functioning of the machine.
    Right card reader works after editing grub (pciehp.pciehp_force=1) in the way known from 9.10.
    I didn't try suspending, knowing the problems which come with /home on left sd-card.

    Looking forward to the final release

    Good:
    - faster boot time
    - lm-sensors works,so now you can watch the temperature...

    Not so good:
    - had to stop mounting /var/log to tmpfs - caused some applications to crash.
    - used to have an encrypted partition for user data in left hand card slot. Partition was decrypted and mounted at boot time (crypttab, fstab). Didn't work any more, so for the moment my data partition is unencrypted.

    Still some bugs, heavy update frequency. No update broke the system so far.
