| Review gives Ubuntu 5.10 glowing marks |
Oct. 24, 2005
 An open source consulting company has published an online review of Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger." Reviewer Nilayan Sharma takes the new Ubuntu release "for a spin to see if it holds up to the reputation for stability and ease of use that we've come to expect."
"At first glance users may not see any glaring differences between Breezy Badger's GNOME desktop and the previous Ubuntu release. However, a closer look reveals quite a few small changes sprinkled all over," writes Sharma.
In the brief review, Sharma takes a look at the installation process, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Desktop, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu.
Sharma concludes: "In the short time that I've spent using Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger), I've really come to like it. The installation was painless, all my hardware was detected and configured correctly, package management was easy, and the clean-cut GNOME desktop is terrific. If you haven't tried Linux on your desktop yet, get your hands on the 'Live CD' version of Breezy Badger -- if you like what you see, this is a great distribution to embark on your desktop Linux journey. For users already into Ubuntu, an upgrade to Breezy Badger is definitely worth it."
