Ubuntu One Music Store has arrived

,----[ Quote ]
| This morning I woke up to write an article 
| for Ghacks. I was searching around for 
| inspiration while I was updating my Ubuntu 
| 10.4 beta install. Near the end of the 
| update I thought âLetâs just check to see 
| the status of the Ubuntu One Music Storeâ. 
| So I fired up Rhythmbox and, to my 
| surprise, there it wasâall ready for me to 
| start shopping!
| 
| Soâwith that said, in this article I am 
| going to introduce you to the Ubuntu One 
| Music Store and how it works. Itâs time for 
| the real fun to begin.

The New Wallpapers of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Ubuntu 10.04 OS has enterprise appeal

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source operating system Ubuntu 10.04, 
| otherwise known as LucidLynx, slated for 
| availability end of April as a Long Term 
| Support (LTS) release, will be particularly 
| appealing to enterprises dealing with large 
| server deployments, said one analyst.
| 
| Enterprises running data centres or 
| managing many servers will welcome the new 
| LTS release because theyâll be âmore 
| interested in stability and less interested 
| in updating,â said Jay Lyman, open source 
| analyst with research firm The 451 Group.

Ubuntu 10.04 delivers usability, strength

,----[ Quote ]
| Every time I tried to use Ubuntu, it felt 
| like I'd stepped into a kiosk machine: it 
| looked like Linux, but the functionality I 
| needed just wasn't there. Sometimes that 
| absence was drastic: I remember having 
| great hot docking support for my laptop in 
| Ubuntu 8.04 that somehow vanished in 8.10.

Ubuntu 10.04 beta - Over 100 updates today ... and the buttons moved again

,----[ Quote ]
| I turned on my laptop running the Ubuntu 
| 10.04 Lucid beta (I think we're still 
| technically on "beta 2") and found more 
| than 100 updates ready for me.
| 
| I did these from the console with apt, and 
| I had to remove Thunderbird before the apt-
| get upgrade would work. I hadn't started 
| using Thunderbird yet, so that was no 
| problem. Once I removed Thunderbird, the 
| upgrade went forward without incident.
| 
| But when I rebooted, I noticed that the 
| button order in application windows changed 
| again. The picture above shows what the 
| buttons look like at the time of this 
| entry.

Why Use Ubuntu?

,----[ Quote ]
| I've been asked why I use Ubuntu a few 
| times. When asked I ask why not. The 
| answers to that are usually different but 
| always follow the lines of, "Well, I was 
| just curious because you know everything 
| about Linux." That answer makes me laugh a 
| little. My follow up is, I use Ubuntu 
| because it works and does what I want it 
| to. Thats not the only reason though. It's 
| not that I haven't tried other 
| distributions. It's not even that I haven't 
| liked certain things in others more. The 
| real reason is much deeper than that.

I'm running the Ubuntu 10.04 beta

| I guess it was bound to happen sooner or
| later.
|
| I needed to get the laptop back into usable
| shape, and I did that by installing Ubuntu
| 10.04 LTS beta 2.

Initial impressions of Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2

,----[ Quote ]
| All in all the system seems faster than
| Karmic and pretty darn stable for a beta
| release.  I took the unprecedented-for-me
| step of making this the actual working
| system on this machine; I ddâed it from the
| spare drive onto the systemâs main hard
| drive and am now using it on this machine
| full time.  Iâve never found a beta release
| that I liked enough to do that with, until
| now.  So I think Canonical has a winner
| here.
