Wow, you never really realise how much you miss something until you don’t have that much time to do it anymore. That’s how I’ve become with blogging, this is something that I feel is very important to blog about however.

Ubuntu 9.10 has been released, and I must say it is the most incredible version of Ubuntu I have ever seen. Right from restart, my computer seemed faster and more sleek looking then it ever has before. As soon as I logged in, it prompted me to fix a few things that might cause problems later, one of them being my language not fully installed and the other to encrypt my home directory. I fixed both of those, and moved on to my new desktop. The icons have been redone to look much better, and the important things on the top bar are now bold.

When I went to check my mail (I use Evolution) I found that I no longer need the launcher I have placed on my menu, I can not launch it straight from the mail icon located on the top of my desktop, also, I can launch Pidgin, my IM client from the same location. The wireless network connections seems to also have been redone.

For a simple upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 I do believe I have seen the most improvements I have ever seen in an upgrade of a program. This is why I truly love open source software, and seeing what I have simply seen in this upgrade, it has convinced me that when I get a new laptop in a few weeks, it will definitely be running Ubuntu. I would definitely suggest that everyone else out there also at least try’s it out and gives it a chance, you won’t be sorry!
