Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0 : Ubuntu 8.10 + Well Customized GNOME + Multimedia Codecs + KDE Goodies

After Ubuntu gained popularity, some distributions switched to Ubuntu as their base distribution. Also many new Ubuntu based distributions started to appear. Most of these can be categorized based on the following criteria,

* Customized based on Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/XFCE etc…)
* Customized based on country/language/religion
* Customized with extra applications/drivers/multimedia codecs
* Customized for a specific purpose (scientific/forensic/academic etc…)

Ubuntu Ultimate Edition(UUE) falls into the third category. Notable distributions in this category include Mint, gOS, Freespire, PC/OS, Ulteo and UUE. UUE differs from these in terms of selection of applications and the release cycle which is very close to the Ubuntu release. Ubuntu Ultimate edition 2.0 was released on Nov 11th, just eleven days after Ubuntu 8.10 was released.

I’ve downloaded the 1.7GB DVD image, burnt into a DVD and started the Installation.UUE does not customize the default Ubuntu installer and hence it worked as expected.
