@Gökberk

You’re right on all three fronts. In 11.04, we’ll make it easier to make an app a favourite. We’ll also (I think) sort out time and date prefs and the time menu. And we’ll improve performance of Unity on most of the GMA450 netbooks, where it sucks today. I’m sorry you had a rough ride, those who ahve hardware that works well with Unity seem to like it enough to justify the move to Unity everywhere.

Being the “computer guy” everyone knows, when someone gets a virus or their Windows crashes bad, I ask them if they have anything important on their net-book. Often, they say they don’t, they just read their e-mail and browse the web. At this point, I whip out my USB stick and installed Karmic or Lucid (and soon – Meerkat). Once I install Flash and show them how to use their web browser, everything just works for them. I never hear a complaint again. And these are average people who know nothing about computers. If Ubuntu didn’t exist, I don’t know what I’d do in these situations, I’d probably still be figuring out why their Windows won’t boot.

Ubuntu Network Edition 10.10 is not better than 10.04. I got three major problems:

1. Favorite Apps was better in 10.04. Change is not the best thing sometimes.
2. Why do I need to install a package to change the time format?
3. 10.10 is very very slower than 10.04. Lucid was actually flying, Maverick makes me feel like jogging.

Sorry Sir, truth should be told and heard.

I just started installing Meerkat from the ISO.

Amidst all the flames about Unity and Gnome Shell…assignment, Harmony, and Canonical profitability…Canonical contributions to upstream, and all of the usual flamewars -

I have to say I am bowled over before my install is even finished. Is this *Unix* I’m installing? You’re asking me if I want to download updates as the CD is copied to disk, so my time won’t be wasted later? You’re going to show a nice slideshow, educating me about the system, and give me something productive to do while waiting for my system to install? You’re actually thinking about the user?

This is a long way from me installing Slackware in the mid-1990s – download everything onto 3.5″ disks – a lot of disks, especially if I want X-Windows. Then fiddle with X-Windows settings to get that working on my system. Have the hellish early LILO as my boot manager. I won’t even go into the lack of packaging, or idea of playing a decent first person shooter, or running virtualization or any of that. Even things like a Linux journaled file system were a pipe dream.

It’s an impressive achievement. The average end user who gets this CD handed to him won’t even know how much work had to go into getting everything to work so easily and automagically for them.

Hail Ubuntu!

there’s a few kinks still in maverick but overall it’s the best ubuntu release to date and they all have got better and better. the linux community as a whole should be congratulated as it is now the case that for the great majority of purposes linux is now a viable desktop operating system and the current release of wine enables one to run a great deal of windows software that is important… well, to me anyway, all games running on the source engine work almost flawlessly now, and whenever i try other apps i use under windows like mp3tag and dbpoweramp music converter, they all work perfectly too, but i now generally look for an open source alternative even though i actually own a license to DMC, i prefer to cut to the chase and just use ffmpeg, lame or mencoder to do my media transcoding work. i also discovered recently that ghostscript is a very powerful and useful tool for working with ebook formats too.

kudos to all working on ubuntu and looking forward to 11.04

zdnet Germany loves Ubuntu 10.10. This is by far the best review I have read about ubuntu in a long time. The only point of criticism were incompatibilty issues with ms office documents in open office, …
