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."

  3. Apr. 17:Prostitute Schedule @MBOT in San Francisco by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Like Las Vegas, San Francisco offers prostitution as a tourist attraction. If you want to buy some prostitution services (i.e., hand job, blow job, or full sexual intercourse), you need to merely walk through the doors of the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California.

    Check out the prostitute schedule for April 17, 2006 at the MBOT

    The prostitute schedule is updated daily.

    Unlike Las Vegas, San Francisco does not regulate prostitution. So, the MBOT heartily welcomes everyone -- including HIV-positive customers.

  5. Tomahawk Desktop: If you want a stable OS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hey, Ubuntu 6.06 is a beta product, not a stable release. Some of the packages including Linux kernel are beta versions! If you want to risk yourself and want to help them to identify bugs, yes, use it.

    If you want a stable Linux based multimedia OS, I suggest Tomahawk Desktop. It's KDE based, so may not be suitable for Gnome fanatics. But it is suitable for people who want something just works.

    I personally use Tomahawk Desktop with Windows dual boot. Its very easy to set up a Windows dual boot with Tomahawk Desktop. I'm not handicapped by the issues both Windows and Linux users face :)
