Let the hunting season begin. It's autumn, and we hunt distros. The first beastling on the list is the latest Ubuntu release, with a funny name of Quantal Quetzal, probably because there are only so many animals beginning with a Q.

Anyhow, let's begin. As always, I will be doing a whole lot of testing, with Quetzal, as well as other distros. We shall begin with Ubuntu 12.10 on a humble dual-core machine with SSD storage and Intel graphics. Later on, we will examine the same distro on high-end hardware. Without much further ado, please follow me.
