The Long Slog Toward Advancement Of Linux

[ Thanks to AV for this link. ]

"The Ubuntu Community is now working on a bold move toward updating the user interface of the Linux-based desktop operating system, by adding a shell called "Unity" that, on paper, could make it even easier to navigate than Windows or Mac OS X.

"That is, if it can work.

"As noted here last week, it's a bold effort and it should be lauded.

"People just want software to work better, to be powerful but easy out of the gate, and to be safe and reliable. But there are technical issues with Unity needing to be fixed and that's easier said than done. On that note, Ubuntu developers have an enormous amount of work still to do before the scheduled April launch of the next version of the OS."
