Lubuntu Yakkety Yak Beta 1 (soon to be 16.10) has been released!
OK, thanks to erratic sleep patterns, I'm late to the party :)
Downloaded the iso, detailed below:- 5b3b043538121f3959a80deec0ddb742 lubuntu-16.10-beta1-alternate-i386.iso
Installed it on my Samsung NC10 Netbook (32-bit Intel Atom CPU, 2 GiB RAM, 320GB hard drive), further hardware details can be found here:- https://gist.github.com/21b61903871ee685fc79
OS. Install
* Had a look at the papercuts listed on [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/Beta1/Lubuntu * As usual, for an install iso too big for a CD-R, I used Startup Disc Creator to create USB install media.
* Installed with no errors, using an Ethernet connection.
* Rebooted OK, logged in OK/
Using the O.S.
* Did a man mkdir command and got the error message "bash: man: command not found"
* Which man revealed that man command not on path
* Checked the keyboard for programmer specific keys - in particular double and single-quotes work fine.
Ruby
* Used Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) to install ruby, ruby2.3-doc
* Tried commands irb, ri
* Installed emacs using SPM
* When editing a (Ruby) text file in emacs, noticed 2 mysterious blank lines between "File" etc at the top of the windows and the first line of a text file. Further investigation revealed that the usual icons that are usually near the top of the emacs windows weren't present, resulting in blank space.
