I ran an in-place upgrade of my 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04 system to 11.10. It seems to have gone very smoothly indeed!

Nice new file manager style!

Very App Store-ish. Some will find that familiar and it will make it easier to use. Some will hate it (and the promotion of proprietary apps to the store.)

Just for feedmebits.

Disappointingly, LibreOffice still does not inherit the global menu bar. [img]<___base_url___>//public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png[/img]

All in all, it's looking good. I will continue to have an explore of the new features as I get more familiar with the new release!

The world mourns not just the loss of one but two large names in IT.

Quote:"There is nothing like a dream to create the future." - Victor Hugo 

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 11.10, code-named

"Oneiric Ocelot". 11.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of

integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies

into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution.

 

For PC users, Ubuntu 11.10 supports laptops, desktops and netbooks

with a unified look and feel based on an updated version of the

desktop shell called "Unity", which introduces specialized "Lenses".

Finding and installing software using the Ubuntu Software Centre is

now easier thanks to improvements in speed, search functionality

enhancements, and usability improvements. Aside from updates

on the performance side, it's also more aesthetically appealing.

 

Ubuntu Server 11.10 has made it much easier to provision, deploy,

host, manage, and orchestrate enterprise data centre infrastructure

services with the introduction of "Orchestra". The Juju technical

preview allows service developers to describe the deployment and

scaling requirements of their applications, in order to simplify

and enhance the dialogue between developers and operations teams.

For those working on the ARM architecture, a technical preview is

also provided for the ARM server.

I'm looking for some different ways to backup/restore files from a remote server that I incase I mess up something really bad.

I'll be able to restore instead of having to do a full reinstall. I'll check google later.

I've been playing around with playdeb.net, a way of downloading and installing games via a one-click method.



 

If you follow the instructions, either:

• configure your repos and install the GPG key
  
  
  
• install a .DEB package containing all the repo information
  
  
  

I'm not a mac person, but I'm just wondering what the advantages and disadvantages for a mac. I can only think of a disadvantage.

Mac is expensive, for the same money you buy a mac you can buy a pc with better hardware specs. But macosx does look really nice,

but on the other hand who cares about looks if you can do all the stuff you need/want to do? And how different is it using the macosx

terminal from using a linux terminal? And really don't feel like learning a whole new os while I'm still learning linux, even though mac is

unix based too it would think it isn't that much different?

Hi guys I'm new here! :)and a total Linux N00B. I come to learn and share knowledge, I may need some guidance and help whenever I'm stuck with something. If you don't mind :) be nice to me, I'll be nice to you.

 

Current flavor = Ubuntu, interested with Debian, mainly because of ".deb" feature.

 

Kthnx

I'm sure all of us have read it in the news already. Even though it's not about linux and I'm not an apple person, I thought it'd be good

to have a moment of silence for Steve Jobs here on the forum too. RIP Steve!!
