Hoary Hedgehog (5.04) Features
* Simple and fast Installation
Ubuntu comes on one single CD, with thousands of extra packages
available online. The install is optimised for speed and
simplicity. Ubuntu has excellent support for laptops (both x86
based and Powerbook / iBook PPC based), and can also be setup in a
minimalist server configuration. It's a text based installer for
maximum compatibility and speed, we think it's the fastest Linux
install around.
* Live CD's for Intel x86, AMD64 and PPC
Ubuntu is the first distribution to offer Live CDs for all three
architectures simultaneously. The new Live CD is easy to modify and
update for custom Live CDs with your personal selection of
packages.
* GNOME 2.10.1
Ubuntu always includes the very latest stable GNOME and KDE. In
Hoary we have GNOME 2.10.1, which features better performance and
significant theme polish. You might also be interested in Kubuntu
(**), the new community driven KDE-based Ubuntu, that is being
released today.
* Firefox 1.0.2
Ubuntu provides the Wall Street Journal's favourite open source
browser, tightly integrated into the GNOME desktop environment.
* First class productivity software
Evolution 2.2.1.1 and OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 are just two.
* X.org 6.8.2
X autodetection and laptop screen detection have had considerable
updates based on community participation. The binary drivers from
ATI and Nvidia are available and can be installed easily, though
the system will use open source drivers by default.
