Review: Ultimate Edition 3.0

Ultimate Edition is for the beginner or enthusiast who wants to have it all... It comes preconfigured with emerald and compiz effects. This distribution has more software than you can shake a stick at... There are at least 2 or 3 applications for any task you would want to perform. There are MANY themes and wallpapers to choose from. It is a large download at 3.6 gigs, definitely worth a look! Unlike previous versions based on Ubuntu, this flavor is based on Linux Mint 11

Ehy spatry can you tell me how to get the top bar you have on your desktop? It looks amazing but i can't get how to get it. Thanks for your work, it really helps! Cheers from Italy.

whoa this is REALLY slow and unresponsive. you clicked the desktop backgrounds and it took like 5 secs to load it??!?!?! WTF?!?!?!

@AboveEmAllProduction Better performance is achieved when not screencasting and running a virtual machine at the same time on a single core processor... This was the case when I filmed this review.

I am working with TheeMann on the dev team, thanks for the review. Thee, as we call him, is a perfectionist and is finishing up the bug fix addition, also to scrub as much of the Mint look off of it. Ubuntu really messed up IMHO when they dumped Gnome 2. As to why Chrome and Chromium, why not? gives you more possibilities and UE is about options.

@bhedrick101 UE was one of my first distributions that I tried when I made the transition to Linux. The compiz effects really "SOLD" me. Now that I am running ARCH I am able to run compiz as a standalone WM without the need to have Gnome3 installed. Admittedly, I have a few gnome components installed as AWN and Cardapio require them. I eagerly await the next release and I will be happy to review it for my subscribers. Newcomers have found that UE is a great way to experience Linux.

@fatriff Everything is a rip off in the United States... The government does not control this country... The EVIL CORPORATIONS DO!

@rayyanputra 1.5Mbps down 300Kbps up; probably not the fastest out there but it is sufficient. I prefer not to disclose the cost.

@TheeMahn1 Thanks for your feedback. when 3.01 becomes available, please send me a private message along with a download link so that I can review this for my subscribers! They will be very interested in hearing more about Ultimate Edition!

[TheeMahn1]

I am the leading dev of Ultimate Edition. I would like to thank you for your nice review. I have embeded your vid on Ultimate Edition's "Main" website. I would also like to let you know a 3.01 is coming with what I refer to as "Bug fixes".
