5 things to look forward to in Ubuntu 10.10

“Maverick Meerkat, the version of Ubuntu slated to be released
later this year, brings with it several features and improvements
that the Linux community has been eagerly looking forward to. I’ve
taken a look at the blueprints for this next release, and picked
out a few of the major items that Linux end-users will be
interested in. Here are 5 things to look forward to in Ubuntu
10.10:

“1. Software Center enhancements
A major focus of Ubuntu 10.10 is improving the software center,
addressing many of the usability problems that have been sources of
complaints in the past. Among these changes are:

* Better Search
I’ve heard this complaint quite a bit, including in the comments of
my article covering things new Linux users need to know. I had
posted a screenshot of an application there, and someone tried to
find it in the software center by searching for “Disk Analyzer”,
which is what’s displayed in the title bar of the program.
Unfortunately, no results were returned. In the next version of
Ubuntu, the Software Center will show suggested results when you
search for something that gets no hits.”
