Ubuntu Ultimate !!
I just installed Ubuntu Ultimate 1.4 a few days back. And indeed it is ultimat. Well Beryl had really tempted me to install this version of Ubuntu.
It was such a wonderful expeirence instaling it. The same version of the OS runs both as a live CD and as the installer. What is the beauty of this is the ease with which it got things done. Minimum user interefernce, a wonderful environment during installation as well.
I entered the live cd option during installation and it took me to the desktop. And there, there is an icon for the installation, and that`s it. No pop-ups, very little information asked for, and what more, it even detects your Win XP account and offers to transfer your documents and settings from that account.
Now that is what compatibility is..!! It mounts all your NTFS and FAT drives automatically, installs all the required codecs, which even plays .flv( which I had not expceted). This is one version of Linux that I would love to recommend to my parents as well. That is the ease of using Ubuntu Ultimate.
Besides the installation, the user interface is good. Great software bundled into it, and yes , Beryl`s cube3d effect rocks !! It also detects bluetooth deivces with utmost ease.
For those who are interested in installing Ubuntu Ultimate , you can download the DVD and CD version from here.
