I highly recommend Voyager 12.04 as it is an excellent lightweight, feature packed, beautiful OS plus it is a Long Term Support release as it is based on Xubuntu 12.04 which makes it a super fine distro to try and use.
The Linux Mint team, after waiting out the initial change with Mint 11, released Mint 12 with Gnome 3 and now they have their work cutout with the Gnome 2 fork MATE and the Cinnamon Shell.
GNU/Linux and FOSS in general has changed the way in which we interact with Computers and with the World. It has opened gateways that none of us could’ve imagined. GNU/Linux contributes to the world in many ways but one contribution that I highly appreciate is that in the field of Education.
In this detailed review of Ubuntu 12.04 we look at Ubuntu 12.04 and compare it with older releases of Ubuntu. We see if it meets the standards and expectations of the community. Read more to find out if it does meet this.
I believe that what ever a computer users requirement are the Ubuntu Family (official derivatives) have them covered and one such beautiful member of the family is Xubuntu. Xubuntu comes with lightweight and highly customisable Xfce running at the current stable release 4.8.1. The default look of Xubuntu 12.04 is quite appealing.
Ubuntu developers Jo-Erlend Schinstad has posted a video to compare Ubuntu Unity with Gnome Panel, as people seem to keep saying that they are more efficient with Gnome Panel than with Ubuntu Unity.
Ubuntu Beta 2, the final beta before the final version has just been released. Being a beta release it brings lots of bug fixes. A lot has changed since beta 1 in the front end worthy of mention.We are only going to mention the changes since beta 1 otherwise this would be too huge a list to cover in this post alone.
Gnome 3.4 has been released today. It brings a lot of new features and improvements, and some changes that may not be as well received. I downloaded a Live Image of Gnome 3.4 for this review.
