Ubuntu 9.10 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs been a couple of months since the release
| of the latest and greatest of Ubuntu, Karmic
| Koala and while weâve been busy building
| servers based on the this release we can say
| with out a doubt it just keeps getting better.
| The refinements in the Gnome interface really
| are paying off in spades, as this release is
| more than ready for prime time.
|
| Finally the new file system is enabled by
| default. By this we mean ext4. While not many
| people care about this, it adds more speed to
| the already great linux distro. Overall
| systems feel snappier and I really chalk it up
| to this new file system. That and all of the
| work being done on the boot up and launcher
| times are really starting to add up.
|
| [...]
|
| Microsoft should be freaking outâ if I ran a
| call center Iâd run Ubuntu desktop on every
| single work station and save a butt load of $$
| in the process.

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. The best Ubuntu till now. Period.

| Next Ubuntu version 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" will
| be a Long Term Support(LTS) version and
| will receive 5 years of support for servers
| and 3 years for all other editions. Since
| it will be an LTS version, the primary goal
| will be maximum stability, which will make
| it a good choice for OEMs to include in
| their products. The artwork design will
| once again improve, as well as the
| usability with another launch of the "100
| papercuts" project. Currently, no radical
| new features have been announced and there
| probably won't be any, since ext4 is
| already the default file system and the
| next generation BTRFS is still under heavy
| development. Gnome 3.0 with the totally
| redisigned Gnome-shell won't make it for
| the same reason(not mature enough for an
| LTS version) but it will be available in
| the repositories.
| In the netbook field, Ubuntu Moblin remix
| will be released as well as the awesome (I
| have used awesome too many times, haven't
| I? But it's worth it ) looking Kubuntu
| Netbook Remix, which will be the best
| looking netbook OS by a long shot.

Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 9.10
,----[ Quote ]
| I was musing to my coworkers that if it had
| the following, I could switch from Linux:
|
| 1) A decent software packaging system.
| 2) Built-in Virtual Desktops.
| 3) Middle-button paste.

Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 9.10
,----[ Quote ]
| I love Windows 7 but I canât give up by favorite
| Linux OS either. So, I finally decided to do a
| Performance Benchmark Showdown to decide who
| gets to rule on my PC. Probably, everyone knows
| whatâs new in both of them.
|
| [...]
|
| All said and done, if you need performance,
| Ubuntu is for you. If you are looking onGaming,
| you have no other choice than Windows. If you
| are looking at Features again Windows 7 is the
| one for you.

| In Ubuntu's case one of its assets is the
| work done to support netbook PCs. Ubuntu's
| Netbook Remix interface is a very slick
| alternative for the smaller screen space
| common on netbooks.

Windows 7 An Improvement, But Is Mac OS X Still Better?

| I feel that Mac OS X or Ubuntu are both

Feature-By-Feature: Ubuntu 9.10 Vs. Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop
| Karmic Koala's desktop should be familiar
| to Windows users. Right-click menu
| shortcuts and personalizing the desktop
| features are similar to Windows 7. The
| desktop still isn't as "glitzy" as Windows
| 7, but users can get the eye candy of
| Windows 7 with a fast graphics card and can
| choose the "Extra" settings in Ubuntu
| 9.10's "Appearance Preferences."

Ubuntu Karmic Koala- A perfect alternative to Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| Before you decide to pay for a Windows 7 license, I
| would humbly urge you to first download a copy of
| Karmic Koala, give it a try for a week or two and
| then make an unbiased assessment of it yourself.
| You will see that you would not have to spend money
| whatsoever on a pile of software that crumbles at
| the least attack made on it. Do you intend using
| Windows 7? Please tell us why or why you would not
| use Ubuntu.
