March 22, 2010

The Ubuntu effect published its first beta version of Ubuntu 10.04 ( "Lucid Lynx"), the subject brings two new social networking tools, clouds associated
with improvements in startup times faster and an update of the Firefox browser with the Yahoo search falling short. Meanwhile, an investment in an eccentric icon theme for Ubuntu users in arms.
The Canonical Ubuntu-backed work launched the first alpha Lucid Lynx in December, and returned with a defective alpha in January.Since then, a third alpha appeared, and now we have the beta, officially known as Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Extended-Term Support).
The beta version is available in desktop, server, and editions Netbook, and for variants of Ubuntu including Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Studio and Mythbuntu. The beta version is still considered sufficiently cruel on the edges to recommend anything beyond experimental use, but users need only wait until April 29 to finish.
