A preview of Ubuntu 10.04

“Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is only in the Alpha stage of testing
at this moment. It doesn’t look extremely different from the
current version of Ubuntu but there are a few noticeable
differences.

“I installed Lucid Lynx using VirtualBox OSE. Before I
installed, I booted up from the LiveCD just to get a look at it to
see if anything looked different. After a quick glance it looked
just like most other recent Ubuntu releases. The background is a
brown/orange color, the UI is gray, and everything is still set up
the same.

“It only took around 20 minutes to install on a virtual machine
with just over 700 MB of RAM and a 2.16 GHz processor. I
haven’t timed any of my other installations but this one
seemed to be the fastest of them all. I decided to dig a little to
find out what has been changed. The first things I checked were the
applications.”
