Google chromium in action
Openoffice 3.2
Firefox 3.6
File browser
Plain background
I liked the following in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
- Beautiful adium theme in empathy messenger
- Empathy messenger, mail and gwibber integration
- Firefox 3.6 (debian still has 3.5.x in testing)
- Chromium browser (no chromium browser in debian repos)
- Ubuntu software center (no such s/w center yet in debian)
- Beautiful ambiance theme and backgrounds
- Font quality(this is far superior in ubuntu than in debian)
- Speed (faster than windows, still not so fast as debian)
- Fast boot
- LTS support
- Huge amount of packages in repository
- Fast mirrors all across globe for installing/fetching software
- Excellent integration with nvidia graphics card (though nouveau is not stable and only nvidia driver works)
- Amazing pulseaudio integration, sound is pretty good now
- Ease of installation
- ext4 support
- hardened kernel
- Openoffice 3.2 is amazing in Ubuntu (feels very good and better than before)
I don't feel better at the following
- Titlebar button placement and sure I changed it
- Lots of unncessary services running in the background unlike debian
- Speed (poor compared to debian, sheer speed of debian is really stunning to see)
- Mono installed by default (and I uninstalled mono-runtime, though I don't have hate or love to mono and infact have windows 7 in my system)
- Gwibber did not work in 64 bit
- Flashplayer installation pulled 32 bit libs and I installed 64 bit flash player manually
still exploring ...
