| In the meantime, however, "I benefit
| because Debian can use Ubuntu packages with
| no problem," Mack added. "I only wish the
| other distros would dump RPM and switch to
| .deb -- there would be fewer packaging
| headaches."

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost all types of hardware and
| configurations are compatible with Ubuntu,
| and Ubuntu includes a hardware checker to
| ensure that all your hardware is working as
| it should be. I would doubt this tool would
| be needed in most cases, as Ubuntu works
| out of the box most of the time, but itâs
| there should you need it.
|
| So there you have it, possibly the most
| consumer friendly version of Ubuntu yet.
| Yes, thereâs a bit of a learning curve here
| and there (especially when installing
| programs, plug-ins) and you do start to
| miss the âwizardâ to guide you through
| complex operations, but aside from that,
| Ubuntu makes a great Windows alternative
| for those of you who just want to get on
| with things.

âWe positioned Ubuntu as a version of Linux that was personal and non-technicalâ
,----[ Quote ]
| Mark Shuttleworth, Founder, Canonical and
| Ubuntu Linux shared his thoughts with
| Srikanth RP on the increasing significance
| of open source, the roadmap for the cloud
| and why he thinks Ubuntu will succeed on
| the desktop, where other equally famed
| competitors have failed.

UDS-M: Design, design, design!
,----[ Quote ]
| Ivanka Majic, the Canonical design team
| manager, held a design team plenary in the
| auditorium at the Ubuntu Developer Summit
| where she talked about the design team as a
| whole, what they do and how they do it. As
| this is the first UDS that has a dedicated
| design track, many people in the community
| haven't had a lot to do with the design
| team and perhaps are unsure of their inner
| workings.

How Old Are Ubuntu Users?
,----[ Quote ]
| Notably, however, one of the data sets from
| the Ubuntu Forums implies that a not-
| insignificant portion of the community is
| older than 50. That conclusion is backed
| up by anecdotal evidence of the presence of
| seniors among a group where we might not
| expect to find many, given that they were
| contemplating retirement before Linux even
| hit the desktop.
|
| Different authors have written about why
| Linux can work for the elderly, and an
| âUbuntu for Seniorsâ project has even been
| registered on Launchpad, although it
| appears dormant. Nonetheless, the retired
| crowd seems to be an important part of the
| Ubuntu demographic, even though it may
| often be overlooked.

Ubuntu 10.04 marks 5 years of Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of Ubuntu 10.04 I marked 5
| years of Ubuntu usage and involvement.
|
| During these years there were UPs and DOWNs
| but in general I have to say, that I was
| right in 2005 to switch from Gentoo Linux
| to Ubuntu Linux.
|
| In 2005 Oliver Grawert gave me a Ubuntu
| 5.04 prerelease CD in my hand and told me I
| should try it, even when he knew that I was
| a Gentoo Linux addict. I tried it on my
| company laptop (HP NC6000) and it was
| working out of the box, without any
| glitches these days.
|
| And after this I started to work on Ubuntu
| and for Ubuntu. After my first âvirtualâ
| meeting with Mark I was convinced that
| Ubuntu has potential to overrule the big 2
| distros (RH and SuSE). I dreamed about the
| possibility that we will have an enterprise
| ready Linux distribution for free.

Kubuntu 10.04: Another Average KDE Distro
,----[ Quote ]
| Kubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu,
| which focuses on using the KDE desktop
| rather than GNOME, and applications built
| with Qt over GTK. In the past, Kubuntu was
| new and fresh, and had that extra bit of
| attention paid to it that made a real
| difference. In fact, Kubuntu is mostly
| responsible for my giving up the GNOME
| desktop and preferring KDE, because Kubuntu
| implemented it right, though later on
| quality of this distro fell through the
| cracks. I tested the latest release on my
| Dell Latitude D630 laptop, an oldie but
| still one of my favorite machines.

Kubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
,----[ Quote ]
| Hereâs a list of some ofz whatâs new in this
| release:
|
| The Kubuntu logo has been updated on the |
| splash screen and in the desktop menus
| KDE Plasma Desktop 4.4
| Linux kernel 2.6.32
| Amarok 2.3
| Installer slideshow
| Touchpad configuration
| Firefox KDE integration
| System notification updates
| Gnome application system tray integration
|
| The updated Kubuntu logo is fine but seems
| to only appear on the bootsplash screen and
| the desktop menus. Beyond that there is no
| other branding to indicate that Canonical
| is behind the release of this distro.
