Xtreme2damax Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I just wanted to report that Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx has been released for all the Linux users on this forum. All releases (DDL and torrents)- http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ 32bits regular desktop (torrent & ddl)- http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10...386.iso.torrent- http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10...esktop-i386.iso Highlights of Lucid Lynx:http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004overview GNOMEUbuntu 10.04 LTS RC includes the latest GNOME desktop environment with a number of great new features. Linux kernel 2.6.32Ubuntu 10.04 LTS RC includes the 2.6.32-21.32 kernel based on 2.6.32.11. KDE SC 4.4Kubuntu 10.04 LTS RC features the new KDE SC 4.4. For more information about new features in Kubuntu, see the Kubuntu technical overview. HAL removalThis release fully removes HAL from the boot process, making Ubuntu faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend. Major new version of likewise-openThe likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4. The package supports upgrades from both the officially supported versions 4.0 (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) and 4.1 (Ubuntu 9.10), as well as the likewise-open5 packages from universe. Since this upgrade involves a lot of configuration file changes and in-place database upgrades, testing and feedback is appreciated. New default open source driver for nVidia hardwareThe Nouveau video driver is now the default for nVidia hardware. This driver provides kernel mode setting, which will give improved resolution detection. This driver provides hardware accelerated 2D functionality, like the -nv driver it replaces. The nouveau driver is being actively developed upstream and we anticipate this will enable faster bug fixes for problems encountered. Improved support for nVidia proprietary graphics driversThree different NVIDIA proprietary drivers are currently available: nvidia-current (190.53), nvidia-173, and nvidia-96. Thanks to a new alternatives system, it is now possible to install all three of these packages at the same time (although it is only possible to have one configured for use at a time). Social from the StartWe now feature built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook, and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel, which is built upon the Gwibber project, which has a completely new, more reliable backend built on top of desktopcouch. Gwibber now also supports a multi-column view for monitoring multiple feeds simultaneously. New boot experienceMultiple changes to look, feel and speed of the boot experience have been included in the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release Candidate. New IndicatorsThe notification area now features more consistent user experience and design for communication, session management, and many other tasks. See the application indicators page for information on this change. New ThemesThe desktop has been beautified with the addition of two brand new themes, Ambiance and Radiance. New wallpaper and icons are also included. Ubuntu One File SyncingSelect any folder in your home directory for sync, pick from your existing contacts when sharing folders. An updated preferences application has been added, with more features. Ubuntu One Music StoreMillions of songs are available for purchase from your Ubuntu desktop, integrated with the Rhythmbox Music Player and using Ubuntu One cloud storage for backup and easy sync. New features for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC)The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud installer has been vastly improved in order to support alternative installation topologies. UEC components are now automatically discovered and registered, including for complex topologies. Finally, UEC is now powered by Eucalyptus 1.6.2 codebase. A script to improve the out-of-the-box experience. Very recommended.
