Three years of Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| I started using Ubuntu three years ago this January. Recounting that fact, I
| was actually a bit astonished. It doesn’t seem like its been so long. A lot
| of life can go by in three years, and its interesting to note that Ubuntu has
| been a faithful companion for what has now been a decent chunk of my living.
|
| [...]
|
| To conclude this short jaunt, I’d simply like to say that I enjoy the changes
| in 8.10. Ubuntu seems to always move in the right direction, and this
| iteration was no different. For any Windows users, I highly recommend the
| Ubuntu OS as an absolutely free alternative to Windows on your next computer
| purchase.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10, thumbs up
,----[ Quote ]
| I've also just discovered Pidgin has tons of plugins including a Skype and
| Facebook one. The skype one only works if skype is also running and the
| facebook one does odd things to your contact list. For example if you have
| requests to be a friend it will throw up a alert for each one for you to
| accept or deny. This is painful when you Its a nice idea but very buggy in
| practice.

Ubuntu 8.10
,----[ Quote ]
| There’s a reason Ubuntu is the most known Linux distribution today: on
| average it’s easiest, and it just works. I have to add “on average” here,
| since the installation isn’t always painless. I also tried to install it on
| another PC with an Intel video card, which failed. It’s a known issue, and
| there are workarounds, but it’s annoying nonetheless. There are other
| annoyances, like the infamous bug that closes the CD tray as soon as it’s
| opened (push the button again, and it’ll stay open).

Ubuntu 8.10: What’s New?
,----[ Quote ]
| Another six months, another Ubuntu release. This time around the table we
| have the Intrepid Ibex; 8.10. Not quite a ground-breaking release, but rather
| the framework for one. Why do I say that? Because there isn’t much new
| immediately visible to the user. Let’s take a look.

Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the first things to notice about Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is its new theme.
| Originally, Ubuntu 8.04 was supposed to introduce a (much-anticipated) new
| default theme for Ubuntu, but that was pushed back into Intrepid Ibex. The
| theme in Alpha 1 is much different from any previous version of Ubuntu (see
| The Visual History of Ubuntu). There is much browner and the current design
| is a complete overhaul with nearly everything being different aside from the
| background. However, we are only at Alpha 1 and there is still much more work
| left with fine-tuning this theme before it's settled in October.

Ubuntu Linux 8.10
,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of Ubuntu Hardy Heron now behind us most eyes are turned to
| October when Intrepid Ibex, or Ubuntu Linux 8.10, will make its debut. While
| Hardy Heron was designed to be stable enough to be a long-term support
| release, Intrepid Ibex promises to be packed with more exciting features.
