Ultumix Linux Ultimate Edition V0.0.1.2 is out!
Ultumix V0.0.1.2 By Justin Breithaupt
I am proud to announce the release of Ultumix 0.0.1.2. This is my own personal Windows Vista / XP replacement that I have been very hard at work on. last month I lost count when over 2000 people downloaded Ultumix V0.0.1.1 but there were still some issues that needed to be worked out in the previous versions.
Ultumix GNU/Linux is very easy for Windows users to switch to because everything is written in common English terms that everyone is familiar with and things like the start menu, icons, and all the other little things are much easier to find and understand. Also I worked very hard on installing the most common software in the OS so that you would have everything you need.
There are two editions of Ultumix V0.0.1.2 but both are very similar. There is the Standard Edition for standard use as a Vista / XP replacement and the Ultimate Edition which has extra things in it such as the top 21 Video Games of 2007 and much much more. So if your computer does not have a large hard drive you might opt for the Ultumix Standard Edition while if you have a computer with Direct X 9 compatible video and a large hard drive you may want Ultumix Ultimate Edidtion.
Ultumix also does not get Viruses, fragmentation, or crash as often as Windows does. Another big advantage to Ultumix as opposed to Windows Vista and other versions of Linux is that it has better hardware support and works with old printers. It also has a better ability to connect to WiFi hot spots than Vista has (if you buy a Linux compatible WiFi Card).
Ultumix is entirely free to download and install including all of the software that comes with it. If you want a professional installation by the creator of Ultumix it will cost you $75.00 but I will also make sure that all of your Windows Programs work in Ultumix that can work. I will also customize it for your needs.
You still have features like Video Chat with Ekiga Softphone and you can also use skype for chatting and calling people. If you currently use Yahoo, AOL, AIM, Jabber, MSN, or other chatting services one program will let you chat on all of these networks at the same time. This program is called Pidgin. It's also available for Windows.
One issue that people should know about before trying to install it themselves is that the user name and password will be “owner” on the first boot after installation no matter what you specified during the install. You can change the password later under the Control Center.
