I started with alpha 6 at home, with the beta at work (both Kubuntu). 
Two issues I had:

1) half of the dialog buttons in Eclipse stopped working (when clicking 
you get the visual feedback, but the action is not executed). The magic 
incantation is

   export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

somewhere in your profile or Eclipse startup script. Supposedly the 
Eclipse Ubuntu package has the problem solved, but while they are on 
3.5.1 some plugins won't install on that since they removed the default 
update sites. With the line above the normal Eclipse downloads work.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/443004

2) the upgrade of the Maven packages didn't work properly and I lost 
pretty much all of the plugins. That is easily solved by either not 
using the Maven from Ubuntu or just selecting every Maven plugin you can 
find in aptitude/synaptic/kpackage/whatever.

3) as so often with Ubuntu upgrades I got some sound hickups. KDE's 
sound is still ok, but Flash turned quiet on my machine at work. I 
haven't bothered to look into that yet.

Otherwise it's all fine. Subversion is finally officially on 1.6 (no 
need for PPAs anymore) and a couple of other things are updated. KDE's 
quick start thing (the Alt+F2 dialog) seems a lot faster.

I used Ubuntu Server 9.10 (the RC version) for a VirtualBox installation 
testing some stuff and the startup speed is impressive.

HTH,
   Peter
