Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) will be released tomorrow and since many of you will install it as soon as it’s released (or maybe you’re already using Ubuntu 14.04), here’s a list of 10 useful things to do to get a near perfect desktop.1. Install Ubuntu AppIndicators (applets)Ubuntu ships with just a few indicators by default because well, it can’t guess what everybody needs. So here are some indicators you might find useful.1.1 Calendar Indicator is one of my favorite Ubuntu indicators. This AppIndicator displays your 10 upcoming events in the indicator menu, can add new events (which of course, are synced with Google Calendar) and it has a complete calendar view where you can see all your Google Calendar events, edit or add new events, etc.To install Calendar Indicator in Ubuntu 14.04, use the following commands:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareaosudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install calendar-indicator1.2 Pidgin may not be the default IM client for a few Ubuntu releases, but it’s still a very popular application. Pidgin uses a tray icon by default but you can now use an AppIndicator which is especially useful since the old Unity systray whitelist is no longer available.Pidgin Indicator is not an part of Pidgin by Today, in conjunction with Red Hat Summit, Red Hat officials are providing updates on the company’s continuing effort to focus its strategy on the OpenStack cloud computing platform. Since their introduction in June 2013 , Red Hat’s enterprise OpenStack offerings have spread out, and the company has made important related partnerships, including one with Dell Computer in which Dell effectively becomes an OEM for Red Hat.

These efforts underscore that leading Linux platforms and cloud computing are going to be joined at the hip going forward, and the players behind them will need to offer top-notch support and compatibility. .

These are the same things Canonical is emphasizing with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, being released this week. Canonical notes that the platform brings "a new level of reliability, performance and interoperability to cloud and scale out environments with support and maintenance for five years."
