What Should You Expect from Ubuntu 7.04
The Beta version of Ubuntu 7.04 just hit the streets last night, and it is my pleasure to introduce you guys to the upcoming features of the final version (due for release on April 19). In this preview, we will look over the new features you'll find in the upcoming version of Ubuntu (which is based on the GNOME desktop environment) and also the features from Kubuntu (same as Ubuntu, but based on the popular KDE desktop environment).
I have to admit that I prefer Kubuntu over Ubuntu because it's based on KDE (K Desktop Environment) and I am a sucker for KDE. But I like to install Ubuntu first and then the Kubuntu desktop; having them both is much better.
If you're wondering "Did he test this beta on a real machine?", then the answer is Yes! I decided to become a tester starting with the Alpha 5 of Feisty Fawn and I am pretty impressed how Ubuntu is evolving. I should warn you though not to install this Beta version of Ubuntu because it's still buggy and it's not suitable for production machines.
In the new version of Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux you will find amazing new stuff, a lot of system improvements and surprises. Let’s take a quick tour over the new features.
