Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx BETA

Now you can give that finger to Windows you always wanted to.

UBUNTU IS ABSOLUTELY FKING BRILLIANT!

The screen flickers you see in between are because of the video capturing software, it works absolutely seamless without it


Have a remote desktop to a windows PC, Spotify running under Wine, Compiz with cube and animation effects, Emerald Theme Manager, Internet Explorer for those nasty IE only websites, rhythmbox, FireFox, Google Chrome

my RAM usage was a little less than 1 G, and CPU hovering below 30% (2.4 GHZ C2Duo T8300) - screen capture made it a bit heavy though, was perfect without it.

VISTA on the same PC alone uses more than 1 Gig without any apps post boot up

How do you get that sidebar thingo?

[dhruvrsingh]

@Mandragara install screenlets, and then this one's called system monitor

as usual, this is my settings you can do whatever you want to with it. there are many other small widget like apps you can use

Hey man, how did you get that information station on the desktop?

Yeah sort of a similar story for me. 10.04 is amazing in the sense that it does SO MUCH more on its own in comparison to 8.04 hardy I tried the last time.

My wireless would require ndswrapper to make it work et al, drivers for nvidia were a pain, and so many more niggles in hardy - that are TOTALLY ironed out in here. 10.04 rocks!

Its a massive improvement, and I hope people realize and try it out.

I started playing with Ubuntu a few months ago. I dual booted for a time. Each time I had to boot into Windows I found myself getting pissed off and angry and I gave windows the finger fully and erased Windows from all 4 of my computers. I am still learning and it took some work to get things all set up and going but hey MY COMPUTER WORKS! ALL the time! I have had Windows pc since 1991 and am now DONE with Microsoft!
