| release, Lucid Lynx 10.04, and to older
| versions such as Hardy (8.04LTS), Jaunty

Ubuntu To Pull In New Versions Of Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu's longstanding policy of not pulling
| in new major versions of packages into their
| stable repositories is facing a slight
| change. Canonical along with the Ubuntu
| development community have been making it
| easier to deploy Mozilla Firefox web-browser
| updates into existing Ubuntu releases.

Canonical - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS review
,----[ Quote ]
| With each and every release, Ubuntu Linux
| seems to get that little bit easier and
| friendlier to use. To put it through its
| paces, we downloaded the CD image of the
| latest iteration, Ubuntu 10.04, burned it to
| a disc and booted directly from it.
|
| In the past, many Linux distros booted up as
| a live CD from that point, and once you'd
| arrived at the desktop screen, there sat the
| icon to install the operating system to your
| hard disk. Ubuntu 10.04 instead offers you a
| welcome half-way house, in that mid-boot you
| can choose whether to try a live CD without
| writing files to your system, or go for the
| full install. We opted for the latter.

Why does Ubuntu keep shipping with Evolution?
,----[ Quote ]
| The Evolution mail client has been the
| default such application in Ubuntu since I
| got to know of Linux. Sure it is the default
| GNOME mail/calendar application, but I really
| am of the view that Ubuntu needs to drop it
| in favor of say Mozilla's very brilliant
| Thunderbird.
|
| For one thing running Evolution on my machine
| makes me wonder if it is IE in disguise. It
| is, for starters, very heavy on my system
| resources. My hdd light keeps blinking to
| hell when I click on that application at any
| time. It also seems to take an eternity to
| respond to my mouse clicks.

Ubuntu, Firefox and License Issues
,----[ Quote ]
| The most important thing here is to acknowledge that yes, the content of the
| license agreement is wrong. The correct content is clear that the code is
| governed by FLOSS licenses, not the typical end user license agreement
| language that is in the current version. We created a license that points to
| the FLOSS licenses, but weâve made a giant error in not getting this to
| Ubuntu, other distributors, and posted publicly for review. Weâll correct
| this asap.

| Thanks for clearing up the issue of the EULAâs content, Mitchell.
|
| Unfortunately, from what Iâve read over the last couple of days, I canât find
| any serious concerns expressed about the _content_ of the EULA.
|
| Pretty much all of whatâs being discussed publicly has been about the very
| existence of a EULA.
|
| âEULAs donât belong in Free Softwareâ seems to be the basic sentiment.
|
| I donât know how one argues against that sentiment given that every major
| Linux distro Iâve installed had a EULA and yet that seems unproblematic to
| most of the people making the demands that Mozilla not have one.
