For the last couple of days I’ve been fiddling around with the next release of Ubuntu (Breezy Badger 5.10) and am looking forward to its formal release. There is a greater level of polish which is evident with the inclusion of a graphical boot screen and a menu editor installed by default. Another nicety includes a graphical application installer off the application menu drop down which will go a long way towards making life a little easier on those who were intimidated by Synaptic. Hopefully, the laptop and server upgrades at my house will be as smooth as it was in VMware.
