Ubuntu 8.04 LTS out now!

I just went to the Ubuntu website and I just wanted to review the new version of Ubuntu.There are millions of things i wanted to talk about Ubuntu but I'll just make it brief.First,with Ubuntu Desktop Edition you can surf the web, read email, create documents and spreadsheets, edit images and much more. Ubuntu has a fast and easy graphical installer right on the Desktop CD. On a typical computer the installation should take you less than 25 minutes.

When you start your system for the first time you'll see a desktop that is clean and tidy, no desktop icons, and a default theme that is easy on the eye.If you updated your Ubuntu version 7.10 to 8.04,things that you put in your desktop WILL REMAIN AT YOUR DESKTOP.Once Ubuntu is installed, all the basics are in place so that your system will be immediately usable.

A complete office productivity suite

OpenOffice contains a user interface and feature set that is similar to other office suites, and includes all the key desktop applications you need, such as:

Word processor - for anything from writing a quick letter to producing an entire book.

Spreadsheet - a tool to calculate, analyze, and present your data in numerical reports or charts.

Presentation - an easy, and powerful tool for creating effective multimedia presentations.

Of all operating systems,Ubuntu offers completely FREE SOFTWARE,as shown above.Good for people who are on 'budget'.

Edit and share files in other formats

Easily open, edit and share files with your friends that have Microsoft Office, Word Perfect, KOffice or StarOffice.

Feeling insecure?Ubuntu provides updates at the task bar area,where they'll notify you when there are updates available for your system, from simple security fixes to a complete version upgrade.

Ubuntu in your local language

Ubuntu aims to be usable by as many people as possible, which is why we include the very best localisation and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer.Almost every language are there to guide you.

System Requirements

Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit and Mac architectures. At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the desktop install CD. Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.

Thats my review and if you readers want a copy of a Ubuntu 7.10 live CD,please e-mail me at danielmn14@hotmail.com.If you want Ubuntu 8.04,you can upgrade it from a 7.10 to that version.

Cheers,

Daniel
