Follow up to Default Search Provider Changes for 10.04

,----[ Quote ]
| However, for the final release, we will use 
| Google as the default provider. I have 
| asked the Ubuntu Desktop team to change the 
| default back to Google as soon as 
| reasonably possible, but certainly by final 
| freeze on April 15th.
| 
| It was not our intention to "flap" between 
| providers, but the underlying circumstances 
| can change unpredictably. In this case, 
| choosing Google will be familiar to 
| everybody upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and 
| the change will only be visible to those 
| who have been part of the development cycle 
| for 10.04.

Firefox in Ubuntu to be powered by Google after all

,----[ Quote ]
| In any case, having Google as the default 
| search engine is the best option, so I 
| welcome the change. Whatever the convoluted 
| dance-stepping offered to un-justify and 
| then re-justify it.

Ubuntu 10.04 Review = bleh.

,----[ Quote ]
| The one other thing I did notice right off 
| the bat was that the GIMP was gone. Why 
| Canonical decided to leave out a very, if 
| not the most important piece of software 
| raises some questions. Canonical needs to 
| spend less time on Googleâs Chrome OS and 
| more time on their own OS.

What's coming in the new Ubuntu Linux desktop?

,----[ Quote ]
| Carr wasn't hinting, however, about Ubuntu 
| not including Mono, Novell's Microsoft 
| .NET-compatible set of software tools, 
| applications by default. While some open-
| source fans really dislike Mono, thanks in 
| no small part to Novell's Microsoft 
| partnership and Mono's reliance on .NET, if 
| anything, Ubuntu seems to be incorporating 
| more of Mono in its default distribution.

12 Things New About Upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

,----[ Quote ]
| The next major update of Ubuntu code named 
| Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is scheduled to arrive in 
| April 2010. This is going to be an LTS 
| edition, which means updates will be 
| available for three years in desktop and 
| five years in Servers. Even though Ubuntu 
| 10.04 is going to be an LTS release, a 
| complete overhaul is on the cards. Lets 
| take a peek at what's coming in Ubuntu 
| 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
| 
| [...]
| 
| In another rather controversial move, 
| Ubuntu is going to ditch GIMP. In 
| Canonical's observation, most of the users 
| don't ever use the advanced functionalities 
| of GIMP and all their basic image 
| manipulation needs are met with other 
| applications. Again, you can always install 
| GIMP with a few clicks using Ubuntu 
| Software Centre, and so IMO, this is not 
| going to be a big deal for most of us.
