Ubuntu's "Lucid Lynx" Enters Beta

Posted by timothy on from the but-that-danged-button-arrangement-sucks dept.

ActionDesignStudios writes "The upcoming release of Ubuntu, titled 'Lucid Lynx,' has just entered the beta cycle. Alongside the usual desktop and server versions, a special version has been released that is designed to run on Amazon's EC2 cloud service. This release of Ubuntu does away with the brown 'Human' Gnome theme we've all become accustomed to, replaced by a new version Canonical says is inspired by light. The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook, among others."

      Why? Fedora comes out with new versions every nine months or so and it's not anywhere near as new-luser friendly as Ubuntu.

    No, they just don't want to be associated with primitive, savage, African niggers. The so-called "human" themes evoke upright apes living in straw huts while ooking and eeking and wallowing in their own shit. It's a shame that somebody gave 'em machine guns and turned 'em loose on each other.

    Being nice and pandering to the lowest common denominator is starting to turn people off, with all of the Darfur/Katrina/Haiti/female genital mutilation/famine/rape/filth/slavery/disease(sexually-transmitted and otherwise).
