Install Nautilus Elementary (2.30) In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
,----[ Quote ]
| Nautilus Elementary 2.30 for Ubuntu 10.04
| Lucid Lynx also comes with all the tweaks
| that were in Karmic such as RGBA, "F8" to
| toggle the menu bar and so on. The one thing
| missing for now is the ClutterFlow view.

A critique of some Ubuntu Critics
,----[ Quote ]
| The theme of most of the baseless criticisms
| is that Ubuntu is unstable for everyday use.
| Why you ask? Because either the author
| plugged in a peripheral that Ubuntu did not
| recognize right away or because there are
| some bugs that have not been fixed for period
| of time. This has even caused some to label
| Ubuntu as 'garbage salad.' I have no problem
| with people expressing their views, but then
| certain basic facts should never be
| misconstrued to the unsuspecting person out
| there.
|
| [...]
|
| Global powers like Dell and IBM are shipping
| Ubuntu preloaded computers, that should go a
| long way to attest to the reasonable
| reliability of the OS. Besides, those
| companies have more resources at their
| disposal to conduct even more rigorous
| testing on the OS than Canonical itself can.
| So on what basis can someone claim that
| Ubuntu is so unreliable that the project
| needs to be scrapped? Sure Ubuntu has
| problems, heck everything made by man has
| problems, but we must learn to be fair and
| give praise where it is due.

Girls like computers, too
,----[ Quote ]
| It's especially appropriate from Ubuntu
| Women, as studies have shown women in open
| source development are even more
| underrepresented than in other tech fields.
|
| If women are going to change the future, they
| have to change the now. And this contest
| actually makes sense.
|
| It's not asking for what many sneer at as a
| form of affirmative action, for girls.

I'm running the Ubuntu 10.04 beta
,----[ Quote ]
| I guess it was bound to happen sooner or

| 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.
