Ubuntu Look

The next Ubuntu release codenamed “Jaunty Jackalope” won’t arrive until April of next year, but some people are already creating mock-ups of its desktop theme.

If Ubuntu announced that a radically new theme would be included in Ubuntu 9.04, would you believe them? After promising exactly that in 8.04 and again in 8.10 without ever delivering, I would not.

Ultimate Edition 2.0 is built based off Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (daily build), by hand, it is w/o a doubt gorgeous.  I am releasing a 32 bit, 64 Bit & and a Gamers edition (x86 based).  Ultimate Edition 2.0 is loaded to the hilt with themes, wallpapers, icon sets, gdm login screens, and Usplashes.  If you have a 64 bit processor I highly recommend the 64 bit edition.  I have purchased a second mirror just for this release the only thing on that mirror is this release on unlimited bandwidth, we also have 5 new mirrors inbound.  Just because of the added bandwidth available it is still important to help & torrent this release.
