Looking Forward, Ubuntu Linux 6.06

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the speculative-reviews dept.

SilentBob4 writes to tell us that Mad Penguin has an interesting look at the upcoming version of Ubuntu. From the article: "All in all, Ubuntu 6.06 is gearing up to be quite an impressive release. Granted, I saw some bugs during my stay on the distribution, but can I really complain? It's not a full release, so it deserves some breathing room. Considering some of the horribly authored software I've looked at over the years, I feel that Ubuntu in pre-release form is more stable than other distros when they reach final release status. It's not quite in the league of Slackware and Red Hat/Fedora in that respect yet, but it's surely getting there in a hurry. As I said before, it smoked Fedora Core 5 performance-wise, so in that department it's solidly ahead."

    I'm just waiting for the Crazed Cock release, or maybe the Raving Rooster.

    ... the Ubuntu designers have never changed a baby's nappy/diaper!!!

    It's time to change that absolutely ghastly default colour scheme.

    Otherwise Ubuntu is beautiful.
