10.04 is here yaay \o/ … but wait .. what’s this ? .. where’s the toggle button from the nautilus location bar ??? Seems I might of been wrong after all and Ubuntu is turning into a brainless apple clone. I mean it’s not a big deal.. just a button. I can enable it quite easily it seems. And it’s not the only thing I’m not found of in this new version. But the point is I really hoped we don’t end up copying from Apple this notion of theirs that users are stupid or something. You don’t make the interface friendlier by taking away functionality.. you do that by giving it meaning.
Ubuntu 10.04, the best yet. I really like where Ubuntu is going. They need some more full time employees to work on the refinement and small niggles, it’s these that are very time consuming, but it’s getting there.
Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook on my Dell Latitude 2100 is fantastic, it looks and behaves smart. Very happy with it. This me-menu is great, It is actually encouraging me to get into this ‘social’ because it is so convenient, and its intergrated very well on the netbook. I had 9.04 desktop version on here before and it was cumbersome to use, but this 10.04 netbook is great. Install was less than 20 min and everything worked out of the box. The theme, the notification icons I really like, looks great. Well done to everyone.
BTW: I haven’t listened to your podcast yet, just downloaded it.
To build your own Ubuntu try:

Not sure how minimal you can go.
