The upcoming release of Ubuntu 10.10 promises a variety of new features for Ubuntu’s desktop and server editions. But it will also bring significant changes for Ubuntu’s lightweight cousin, Xubuntu. Here’s a look at some of the most important updates for the Xfce-based Ubuntu variant, including several that will increase its independence from standard Ubuntu. [...] Come and get me, fanboys. I’m a complainer and a whiner (and a joker, a smoker and a midnight toker), but not without reason. (OK, I’m neither smoker nor toker, but it just sounds so right.) Ubuntu, it’s been a nice ride, and I fully support what your doing in terms of spreading the full-custom [...] Before I go any further, I’d like to thank Ford for the honor of being allowed to post here at Eleven is Louder. This is my first post, so please try to refrain from throwing any large, heavy, or otherwise dangerous objects at me. Ubuntu 10.04 [Lucid Lynx] was released a few days ago, and [...] Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu and so on are getting lots of attention but it seems everybody is forgetting about Xubuntu so I decided to make a screenshot tour of Xubuntu. I never used XFCE so my notes are from the point of view of someone used to Gnome (so I’ll underline the difference between XFCE and [...] Xubuntu 9.10, codenamed the “Karmic Koala”, is the latest and greatest version of Xubuntu, released on October 29th, 2009. It integrates the latest Xfce-desktop releases with the high-quality and feature-rich core of Ubuntu, resulting in a light-weight and easy-to-use Linux distribution. Release Notes To learn about all the great enhancements and improvements that can be [...] When the machine gets old and becomes useless. You get short on options. You can’t sell it because you are so emotionally attached to it and it doesn’t worth that much and you can’t run new applications on it because it can’t afford them. But you can turn it into a beautiful workstation. Able to [...] I’ve always liked Kubuntu, really I have. The Kubuntu desktop is clean and familiar, with lots of bells and whistles. Now that I’m back doing freelance work again, tweaking the very cool resident desktop features, all the time, is beginning to distract me from pursuing fame and fortune as a humble word-smith. Having heard that [...] I’ve written (and before that observed/suffered) about the Xfce flavor of Ubuntu — Xubuntu — not offering much of a speed advantage over plain ol’ GNOME-based Ubuntu and certainly not comparing well to the default Xfce setups of Debian and Slackware. In last week’s Distrowatch, which I also blogged about, And in the latest Distrowatch, [...] Ubuntu Linux 9.04, otherwise known as Jaunty Jackalope, will be released later this month. Forget Windows 7, this is going to be the hottest operating software release of 2009. Yet, the muddy brown and orange theme doesn’t do it for me which is why this time I’m eyeing off something else from Canonical’s stable. I [...] My 2nd set of ScreenShots, this time it is Xubuntu 9.0.4 Beta based on the New Jaunty Jackalope Beta Release of Ubuntu 9.0.4. I absolutely love Xubuntu since it uses the very light and efficient Xfce 4.6. Granted usually I am praising the fancier Ubuntu based distros, but I do love the simpleness and the [...] |
