Ten factors that give Ubuntu 10.04 an edge

“The most recent release of the popular Ubuntu Linux
distribution has been available for a few months. You may not use
Ubuntu, or perhaps you know little about Linux, so why should you
care? The answer is because it offers a number of improved
features, the best 10 of which I list here.

“1. Gnome 2.30 The Gnome 2.30 desktop environment is the final
2.x release before the major upgrade to 3.0. If you haven’t seen
the changes that the upgrade will introduce, you will either love
or hate it. But for those fans of Gnome, this is the last time you
will see your beloved 2.x released in Ubuntu. I have used 2.30 and
it is fantastic.

“But is this feature really new? Perhaps not. However, it marks
the end of an era for Gnome that deserves mention. Gnome 3 will be
a worthy successor to Gnome 2.x. In fact, Gnome 3.0 will succeed
where KDE 4 failed, in being a desktop upgrade that is immediately
useful.”
