“Desktop & Apps
One thing I was pleased to see when I saw the Ubuntu CE 5.0 desktop
was a nice wallpaper of Jesus Christ. Why? Well one of the things I
didn’t like about Ubuntu CE the last time I reviewed it was that it
didn’t feel very religious. It just didn’t give me any of the
feelings that one ought to get from religious imagery because it
really didn’t have much. So I was pleased to see that the
developers are starting to take that concern more seriously
although it’s important to note that they regard this as a “back to
basics” release and they will be adding more aesthetically pleasing
things later on.

“The other thing I noticed were two popups on the desktop. One
had something from Phillippians 4:19 that said “But my God shall
supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.” And the other popup was Bible Trivia that asked me the
question “What nation had 185,000 soldiers slaughtered by an
angel?” Well I had no idea so I just clicked the Answer button and
found out that it was Assyria. Hey, you learn something new every
day right?”
