My thoughts on Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| So, why did I go back to Ubuntu? Why did I
| not stay on PCLinuxOS? Well, because KDE
| and GTK apps fought over control of Audio,
| and it forced me to use mostly GTK apps in
| a KDE environment. So, I wanted to go back
| to a GNOME distribution that offered great
| PulseAudio support, and something I
| havenât tried yet. So, although Iâve used
| previous versions of Ubuntu, I have had
| yet to give 10.04 a try. Not to mention
| Ubuntu 10.04 is normally my fall-back
| distribution where I normally expect
| everything to work.
|
| So anyway, to start off with, I kind of
| avoided using Ubuntu 10.04 for the first
| few weeks after release. Not because it
| was a new release or anything, but I
| wanted to give other distributions a try,
| and I wasnât really agreeing with some of
| the things Canonical was doing, and the
| attitude they had towards their users when
| the users were showing their discontent on
| the changes that Ubuntu had made to the
| titlebar, or the fact Ubuntu was trying to
| look and act like Mac OS X. Also, I tried
| the Beta out and I wasnât too big of a fan
| of it, even though I tried it in a VM.
| With the factors of the last time I tried
| 10.04 that it was in beta and that I tried
| it in a VM, and that I was getting a bit
| ticked off at PCLinuxOS KDE not wanting to
| properly install PulseAudio, I felt âWhy
| not give Ubuntu 10.04 a try.â
|
| [...]
|
| So overall Ubuntu 10.04 is a very nice
| distribution. I did have a few issues with
| it here and there, but nothing too much.
| Some of the issues I did have with it
| before even using the final version were
| more to do with Canonicalâs decisions, and
| the attitude towards the users that were
| showing their discontent towards the
| changes they made. Overall, I would
| definitely recommend it to somebody who is
| looking to start out with Linux â that,
| along with Mint, PCLinuxOS, or Mandriva. I
| would definitely say give this a try and
| tell me your thoughts on it in the
| comments! Thanks for reading, and if you
| want to, subscribe clicking on the link at

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

| Overall I think 10.04 is another great
| step forward to Ubnutu and Linux in
| general to get into the hands and homes of
| the average user. Kudos to the Ubuntu team
| for a great OS distro, keep up the great
| work guys!

More Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| The software bundled with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
| Lucid Lynx is much the same as the past
| few versions â Firefox, OpenOffice,
| Rhythmbox (think iTunes), and F-Spot (for
| digital cameras) â so you neednât scour
| around for the essentials. GIMP
| (Photoshop-like image editor, but without
| CMYK support) is not in by default any
| more but easily added.
|
| When you do need to install something
| else, a new Ubuntu Software Centre offers
| a cheerful interface, for a large
| repository of free apps.

Fawning Over Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| I canât say enough good things about this
| Ubuntu distro, I highly recommend you
| upgrade if you use older Ubuntu distros or
| if youâre a PC user whoâs itching for a
| change from Windows, download the ISO and
| give it a whirl without even installing
| it. Yes, Ubuntu Live CD will let you test
| drive the distro without even installing
| it. Again, well done Ubuntu crew, keep up
| the work and thanks for a beautiful and
| functional OS!

Ubuntu 10.04 Test Drive
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been a fan of Linux for several years
| now. But for the past year or so, I
| haven't really done much with it. Sure,
| I've had a Wubi installation running
| inside of Windows that I boot up
| occasionally, but for daily use I finally
| succumbed to my wife's insistence that she
| simply preferred Windows. It's not that
| she dislikes Linux or Ubuntu, it's just
| that she is a user, not a geek. I don't
| mind fighting my computer every once in a
| while to get it to work. She can't stand
| it. Lucky for me, Windows XP had a little
| meltdown a few weeks back, and has been
| barely functional since then. I spent my
| requisite two or three evenings to fix it,
| but with no luck. Tired of fighting
| Windows, I decide it's time to try Ubuntu
| again.

| After playing around with the appearance
| options a bit, I'm even more convinced
| that the folks at Ubuntu have finally
| taken their graphics overhaul idea
| seriously. There are loads of easy
| options for changing window appearances,
| and even a nice bunch of attractive
| wallpaper. This is a huge upgrade from
| previous versions, where you got to
| either choose a subtle variant of brown,
| or go on the hunt for your own high-
| quality wallpaper.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Review
,----[ Quote ]
| There were a few things that I didnât
| care for, such as the clashing of colors
| and the fact that there are games
| installed rather than GIMP or VLC instead
| of the utterly horrid Totem.
| Additionally, my biggest annoyance is
| that while Ubuntu went out of its way to
| revamp its entire look, they went to
| someone elseâs look. As for the look
| itself, itâs okay. The new logo is very
| nice. I liked it quite a bit. As far as
| the distro is concerned I was pleased.
| HUGE improvement over the Koala.
| Overall, I would rate Lucid Lynx an A-
| for newbie friendliness and usage and a
| B+ for looks. That last would have been
| an A- but Iâm not fond of copycats.

Life with Linux: Notes on installing Ubuntu 10.4 LTS
,----[ Quote ]
| This was on my personal home desktop, a
| rather powerful machine I built earlier
| this year (6Gb memory, quad core, 2Tb
| disk) specifically for 3D apps and
| personal software development. Itâs a dual
| boot machine, so when I did the upgrade on
| the Ubuntu half I wanted to make sure the
| other side remained intact.
|
| [...]
|
| All in all this is a solid release, as far
| as I can tell so far.
|
| Update: Iâve switched to the new default
| Ambiance theme to get the full effect of
| the changes in the user interface. Iâve
| changed the background image (my favs are
| from InterfaceLIFT) but otherwise I should
| be living La Vida Lucid.
