The Ubuntu developers are moving quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. The Maverick Meerkat s the new release of Ubuntu 10.10, bringing with it new features for the next version of Ubuntu.
The final stable version was released on October 10, 2010. The GNOME base platform has been updated to the current 2.31 versions.
Rightardia runs Ubuntu on its desktop machines and OpenSuse Linux on its laptops. We recommend keeping a copy of Fedora Linux around because it seems to be able to format hard drives better than Unbuntu or OpenSuse.
The email cleint ,Evolution, was updated to the 2.30 version, which operates much faster compared to the version in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Evolution is a clone of Microsoft Outlook.
Shotwell has replaced F-Spot as the default photo manager.
Gwibber has been updated to support the recent change in Twitter's authentication system, as well as changing the back end storage to improve performance.
The Sound Indicator has been enhanced to include music player controls.
The Ubuntu Software Center has an updated look and feel, including the new "Featured" and "What's New" views for showcasing applications, an improved package description view, and a "For Purchase" software category has been added.
You can also now easily access your package installation history too. We noticed our screen resolutions also improved which suggest the release shipped with some new video drivers.

Ubuntu One backup has an improved desktop integration with new sign up and sign in process. There are Nautilus file managment enhancements for managing folder sync preferences. There are faster file sync speed and share links to music within the Ubuntu One Music Store.

We like Linux because it has saved Rightardia thousands of dollars in Microsoft and third party licensing fees. After you purchase the Microsoft 7 for $150, you will have to purchase anit-virus and malware software, DVD burning and video viewing software, MS Office, utilities to check and defrag the hard drive and so forth.
Many industry experts have said upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft OS will cost a home user close to $1000 with cost of the news OS and third party software purchases.
This is true for bushiness as well. Corporations will save some money by purchasing bulk licenses or software leases from Microsoft.
Linux comes with all of the applications and utilities installed. Our staff uses Open Office for word processing and hasn't missed Microsoft Office at all.
One area where the Microsoft OS excels in is games. Almost all of the really good games are compiled for the Microsoft OS's. Linux has had Wine around for a while to play Microsoft games, but it is buggy.
There are some commerical products like Cedaga and CrossOver, but there is a new free product called Play on Linux that works quite well. Of course, most business people don't want their employees playing games on company time.
