Ubuntu 9.10: Some they giveth some they taketh away
Since I like this saying so much, I decided to write an entire article revolving around its message. And the focus of the message, once again, the much loved/hated and controversial Ubuntu, the Paris Hilton of the Linux world.
Ubuntu 9.10 has been around for some time, including several of my test machines. If you've followed the news and updates in the Linux world in the last few months, you have probably noticed that Ubuntu has been received as a hot potato; edible and tasty, but sometimes too hot to handle, especially for new users. Many condemned it, others found it flawless, others yet were disappointed, like myself, mainly by the lack of any major improvements combined with several serious regressions.
To cut the long saga short, I've compiled this article, which outlines my three-month-long experience with the latest Ubuntu. Here, you will find the good, the bad, the ugly, and the illegitimate of Karmic Koala graced with Gnome desktop, for you to decide whether it's up for grabs or shelving until Lucid Lynx comes out. Unless you fear Aero, that is.
Ah, yes ... you do realize that my findings are relative and subjective? In other words, my experience may not reflect yours? Good.
So, let's begin with the good stuff.
