Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Fully Installed :)

Posted by UnknownFear - April 29th, 2010


Finally, after corrupting my Windows 7 partition during installation of Ubuntu 10.04, I guess Linux decided it didn't want to dual-boot after all :D So I deleted Windows and installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I must say, there has definitely been a lot of improvements and awesome features. A few of the main features I like are:

1) Support for the iPhone 3GS / iPod Touch in it's out-of-box state. I even tested this out via LiveCD and I tried Ubuntu before installing it. Connected my iPhone 3GS to the computer and boom, iPhone icon on desktop and I could see it in Rhythmbox. Haven't yet tried to put songs on / off of iDevice yet.

2) Social integration has made it's appearance and it's so easy. There is a second menu-bar right next to the shutdown bar and you can add Facebook, Twitter, etc. to it and get notifications. Also, the Envelope icon next to the date/time icon lets you access your chats and Twitter / Facebook networks. It's very cool :)

And yeah, haven't played around a lot yet, just got it all setup after 2 hours. Very impressed none the less :)

Two weeks using it and I am happy.

Also, torrent was damn fast. The straight download was supposed to be an hour-long download, and I got it in 20 minutes.

Same with me when I torrented it. I even made a post on the Ubuntu Forums that reach like 10 pages long all about users should torrent it instead of using the mirrors :P
