Review: Ubuntu 8.04
A cocktail of boredom and waiting creates the desire to do something quicker. Offically, Hardy Heron (the next Ubuntu release) doesn’t come out till the 24th. But thanks to it being free software, the beta came out a few weeks before. Time to apt-get dist-upgrade!
First up is the art. This release is a looker. Most of the work you’ll see is from the GNOME team, but Ubuntu looks great. Its default wallpapers are nice. The new Clearlook them makes me happy. It looks more professional than the 2.20 them did.
Cheese seems like a fun little app, but as I don’t have a webcam, Its no use to me. F-Spot and GIMP haven’t really changed, but it now comes with Transmission, one of the best Bit Torrent clients on OS X is now part of GNOME.
