As said in 'The Times'
[My Ubuntu setup is faster than a PC and prettier than a Mac]. Ubuntu
indeed is faster than a PC and prettier than a Mac. Ubuntu has stood
up as the most user friendly GNU/Linux distribution amongst the crowd
backed by Debian and funded by Canonical Ltd and is fully open
source which means you are free to use it and even to distribute
encourage others to use it.
A picture is worth a
thousand words but a video is even more worth than what a picture
could express. So, here's the video of the latest version of Ubuntu
11.10 Oneiric Ocelot in my system.
In previous version 11.04
many critics didn't liked 'Unity' interface. So, in this version
11.10 Ubuntu has improved much in Unity's functionality, stability
and usability. I personally like Unity's new location since I don't
click on unity dash icon when closing the application. Another new
exciting feature is 'Alt+Tab' preview which you can see in the video
in action. Another special feature in Ubuntu is 'Ubuntu Software
Center' from where you can easily install and manage new applications
and most importantly it contains open source applications which are
free to use and also there are commercial softwares. And also it has
cloud built in with 'Ubuntu One' giving you 5GB of free space; you
get all your files in one place where ever you go.
If anyway you still don't
like the Unity, then you can install gnome shell or use the classic
gnome desktop. One of the most important feature of Linux is it's
flexibility, you can customize it's every functionality and user
interface.

Not so lucky with my upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10: no graphical ALT+TAB switcher or Workspace switcher (CTRL+ALT) [just plain small icon list], unmodifiable icon sizes at the side panel (dash or whatever...), windows not getting fixed at a side or maximized when dragged to the sides... Seems like unity+compiz (both installed from previous versions) may have some conflicts...
ReplyDeleteclean install is always far more better than upgrading, all we need is just to backup our files, documents, projects, bookmarks, before running the clean install.
