Spinning off from Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu is probably the best known desktop
| GNU/Linux distribution at street level,
| picking up new users by word of mouth and
| astute viral marketing. So much so that for
| many users new to Linux, Ubuntu has become
| synonymous with Linux. Linux is Ubuntu; and
| Ubuntu is Linux. But Linux and free
| software come in many different flavours,
| and the adventurous user goes in search of
| wider options, other distributions and new
| desktops.
|
| Ubuntu is easy to install, easy to update,
| and easy to manage, which makes it
| attractive to first time users and long
| term Linux enthusiasts alike. It has a
| regular six-monthly upgrade cycle, which
| makes it easy to keep up with the latest
| and greatest with the minimum of fuss, but
| also has drawbacks in the form of
| occasional reliability issues.

Ubuntu 10.04 brings Linux closer to the mainstream
,----[ Quote ]
| No Windows viruses. Free. Any questions?
|
| Of course. Start with this one: How can an
| operating system with those virtues, the
| open-source Linux, remain confined to a
| tiny minority of desktop and laptop
| computers at home?
|
| Linux may run TiVo video recorders and live
| inside Android phones, in addition to
| running much of the Internet's servers, but
| it still lags on home PCs.
|
| Will that change anytime soon? A new
| version of a consumer-oriented edition of
| Linux, Ubuntu (http://ubuntu.com), offers
| hope for Linux optimists but leaves room
| for doubters, too.
|
| Ubuntu 10.04, nicknamed "Lucid Lynx," comes
| from London-based Canonical, but like other
| open-source releases it benefits from other
| programmers who have improved its source
| code.

| called "Application Menu" and it can be
| installed in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
| already (both in GNOME and KDE).

| Note: these are not official mockups, but
| they are still pretty close to what window
| indicators want to be.
