Although Chrome OS is based on Ubuntu, Google has no intention right now of targeting the mass market.

While Ubuntu 9.10 wasn’t perfect, I have high hopes for Ubuntu 10.04. In fact, I predict that it will probably be the best version of Ubuntu released yet. I’m sure with the negative press that 9.10 received, it will probably be enough to convince the developers to make the right changes.

The Ubuntu server is the most innovative distribution for servers. It enables administrators to gain access to cutting edge technology and implement that with new ideas. If you are looking for the latest and greatest, this is the server option for you.

Ubuntu 9.10, code-named Karmic Koala, debuted in late Oct 2009. And unlike the commercial operating systems, Ubuntu is totally free;it doesn’t cost you a dime. Eric Geier tells you all you need to know about this nifty Ubuntu upgrade.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a special version of the famous Ubuntu distribution bound for the netbooks, the new generation of laptops at low prices designed for the simple office automation spots and Internet browsing.

Normally by the time a book hits my shelf the material is outdated, not necessarily useless, just not the most up to date. This is an exception.

Over the last 12 months, netbook and mobile Linux has made massive advances in features and install base. This is primarily thanks to two netbook distributions – Moblin and Canonical’s Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR).

A few months ago, a widely used operating system received a major upgrade — and Microsoft and Apple had nothing to do with it. This upgrade came from the developers responsible for one of the most popular versions of the open-source Linux operating system Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 10.04’s Alpha has been released. We decided to install it on one of our netbooks to see what is new in it

The new Karmic Koala contains more updates than any Ubuntu release in some time. Users will certainly notice one thing from the start: The system boots up much more quickly. The reworked design also stands out. While it still features the brown tones for which Ubuntu is known, it also reminds one a bit of [...]

Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu Linux desktops may look alike, but they’ve got some important distinctions.

After becoming increasingly frustrated with Windows Vista, I began searching for an alternative operating system. An “upgrade” to Windows XP seemed like the only other option, but Skatter Tech’s senior editor, Sahas Katta, suggested I try Ubuntu 9.10: Karmic Koala

Ubuntu 9.10, called Karmic Koala, brings a lot of small improvements and a couple of bigger features. GRUB 2 has become the default bootloader in Ubuntu 9.10, at least on a fresh install. Ext4 also got a promotion: it is the default file system now

Is the free download worth your time and bandwidth, or should you stick with the (still) cutting-edge 9.04, or even the rock-solid 8.04 LTS release? We’ve had a month to really get to know the Karmic Koala. We’ve put it through the paces and now have our final verdict.

Today, I installed Karmic on my desktop/server at work (aka orange). It was running Debian Lenny, but with the purchase of 2 24″ monitors and my subsequent failure to quickly configure them properly, I decided to jump ship to Karmic

Windows 7 turns to face its latest challenger in the form of Ubuntu 9.10, the latest and greatest flavour of Linux to be released.

Whether you’re a die-hard Windows fan or a Linux evangelist, here is the lowdown on the latest updates

Every time I look at my netbook I keep thinking I’ve got a new machine, and an expensive one at that, but I haven’t, I just installed the new Ubuntu 9.10 (code named Karmic) Netbook Remix on it.

One aspect of 9.10 that I was most interested in was the new Ubuntu Software Center. I have always been a big fan of apt-get and Synaptic, so I was curious as to how Ubuntu could possibly improve on either of these tools

For the testing in this article we pulled out an aging laptop and ran a set of tests across Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, Ubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu 9.04, and the latest Ubuntu 9.10 snapshot.

Review: Every few years or so, I come over all magnanimous and take the view that I really should try Linux again. After all, I am old and befuddled and it probably isn’t as bad as I remember it being the last time I tried it. Wrong.

Here we’ll post all of the reviews of Ubuntu 9.10 for your easy reading. Have fun! So far articles from The Guardian, Computerworld, Lockergnome, ExtremeTech, IT News, Linuxforyou, The Inquirer, TechCentral, The Globe and Mail, PCMag, Gadgetmix, ITPro, Computer Weekly, LinuxPlanet, LinuxInsider and Ars Technica.

BostonPeng on the blog “I’m Just an Avatar” writes: “While I snagged the disk image pretty quickly it wasn’t until Friday a week ago that I was able to actually get a chance to fire up the LiveCD long enough to see how well it played with my system.”

The latest Ubuntu edition will offer integration with cloud computing and netbooks. One of Canonical’s goals is to make it easier to deploy applications in the cloud, using Amazon’s EC2 platform

With the latest version, Ubuntu will give you integration with cloud computing and net-books. The ability to deploy applications in the cloud much easier than before is one of Canonical’s goal for 9.10 using Amazon’s EC2 platform.

I’ve had the Karmic development release running since Alpha 2. I started with it because it supported some newer hardware on the Asus 1008HA netbook and that machine is not as critical as my desktop is for work so I could afford for it to go wrong occasionally. Although it has been only very occasionally.

The Ubuntu 9.10 (“Karmic Koala”) beta won a positive review from eWEEK, while InfoWorld reports on the server edition’s capability for developing private clouds that are compatible with Amazon EC2. Meanwhile, ArsTechnica found the developer’s version of Ubuntu Moblin Remix to be “promising” but “rough.”

Intel’s Moblin Linux platform has finally arrived on netbooks. Ars takes a hands-on look at Dell’s new Mini 10v with the Ubuntu Moblin Remix.

I have wanted to try Linux for a while now. I found an old laptop at our house, so that became the victim of my OS tests.

I’ve been installing the Karmic Beta release on everything I have around here, and the news is generally good. Some of this I have mentioned before, and some is new; some is significant, and some is trivial… so here we go!
