Review: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 â It just works
,----[ Quote ]
| Out of the box comes a complete operating
| system with a full office suite
| (OpenOffice), FireFox webbrowser, CD/DVD
| burner, movie editor, IM-client, BitTorrent-
| Client and so much more. You can practically
| immediately start working and doing everyday
| tasks right after the installation. Itâs
| still a complete mystery why the .mp3
| support is missing, but it take a few
| seconds to fix that and start listening to
| your music collection.

| minor annoyances. Since you never know
| exactly what may happen when you decide to
| upgrade, here are a few tips to get you
| started.

Ubuntu 10.10 âMaverick Meerkatâ To be Radical, Promises Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical chief, Mark Shuttleworth said on
| his blog recently that the Ubuntu version
| 10.10 will be focussed on being social and
| being fast. According to him, the OS is
| getting faster and faster when it comes to
| boot times but âthe final push remainsâ. In
| the mean time, he said that the Netbook
| Edition of Ubuntu 10.10 will have a revamped
| UI and it will be the fastest booting and
| the fastest to network OS for netbooks at
| that time. Canonical is of course the
| company that funds and oversees the Ubuntu
| project.
|
| In keeping with the alliterative and animal
| naming scheme â Ubuntu 10.10 is being called
| âMaverick Meerkatâ. Meerkats are social
| creatures by nature. They are very family
| oriented. And their name has been adopted to
| signify the emphasize being laid on being
| social.

| In Short
| Ubuntu's one-size-fits-all nature makes it
| a good initial introduction to Linux-based
| operating systems. Visually, it keeps
| improving, but it is not quite all the way
| there yet. While many can argue whether
| Linux is ready for the desktop, there's
| little doubt that Canonical packages up
| Ubuntu better than the vast majority of
| distributions out there. The biggest
| compliment one can pay to Ubuntu is that
| it feels like a professional product in
| its installation, look and feel and above
| all updates. If nothing else, you should
| give Ubuntu a try to give you some
| perspective on how well your own OS suits
| you.
|
| The Good
| Maturity and popularity aid in usability,
| integration with cloud services, long-term
| support (LTS) release, painless update
| from previous version.
|
| The Bad
| Might be too Mickey Mouse for hardcore
| Linux users, strong branding and colour
| scheme.
|
| The Ugly
| Nothing.
|
| Bartender's Score
| 8/10

Ubuntu 10.04: a real money saver for small businesses
,----[ Quote ]
| In use, Ubuntu is a stable operating
| system with a mature front end. Version 10
| is a pleasure to use, feeling more
| responsive than any form of Windows and
| easy to configure via the various control
| panel dialog boxes.

Ubuntu 10.04 review
,----[ Quote ]
| UNR, the netbook version, benefits most
| from the new theme and more efficient use
| of screen space, but we're waiting for
| Canonical's Unity and Gnome 3.0 for any
| real taste of revolution on the small
| screen.
|
| What we're left with is a division. If
| you're not a current Linux user then
| Ubuntu offers the best Linux experience
| you can have. The desktop looks ultra-
| modern and the package manager is slick,
| expansive and easy to use.
|
| But if you're a Linux user looking for a
| spring break from your current
| distribution, this release doesn't do
| enough to warrant the upgrade. While it
| looks nice, there's no real innovation and
| nothing we can get too excited about.
