Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04LTS – Landmark release?
My last article saw details of GIMP being removed from the default packaging of 10.04LTS and whilst its not yet decided what its replacement will be, Im sure there will be a whole host of reasons put forward why it should be a Mono one[1]. That aside, what we do understand is that 10.04 will be is a long term support version.
Canonical are reporting that LPIA will no longer be supported which has been reported in detail here and since it has no bearing on my Ubuntu requirements (and apparently not many others either), I’ll move on.
Interestingly its being rumoured that there may be some affiliated online music store included in the release which is great news if true and shows that Canonical are thinking more about the Linux platform as a viable mainstream product. How this will manifest itself in 10.04 (if it does) is not certain at the moment. The following was said on the subject:
The Lucid music store project aims to deliver the ability to purchase music from within a desktop music player.
There apparently is no official partner for the music store and Ive yet to find any information on the often hot topic of DRM or other anti-sharing technologies being employed. Further details about the music store can be found here.
