General Community News

12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) Alpha 2 Released!

"Welcome to the Quantal Quetzal Alpha 2 image set, which will in time become the 12.10 release.

Pre-releases of Quantal Quetzal are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready.

Alpha 2 is the second in a series of milestone images that will be released throughout the Quantal development cycle, in addition to our daily development images. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Quantal. You can download them here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/alpha-2/ (Ubuntu Desktop, Server)"

More details, including links to the other images released for Alpha 2, available here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2012-June/000965.html

Which Linux Is Best for File Servers? Survey Says: Debian and Ubuntu

Katherine Noyes of PC World shares results from a recent survey of 100 small and medium-sized business users shows that for file servers, they prefer Debian and Ubuntu distros over a RHEL, and CentOS distros. This survey is done by a company named Symform who is in the cloud storage business.

Canonical will use Intel's efilinux in Ubuntu for UEFI secure boot

Lawrence Latif of the INQUIRER reports on the news that Canonical will be dropping Grub2 and switch to Intel's efilinux which will allow them to work with Microsoft’s new UEFI Secure Boot they are pushing to hardware vendors.

Ubuntu Unity: Making the desktop seriously efficient again

Despite some criticism from some people saying Unity is not a usable desktop environment, Jack Wallen of Tech Republic claims that it is even more efficient then the desktop environments of the past. Wallen’s review covers some of the useful default keybindings, how HUD has simplified use of some of his commonly used applications and features of the Dash.
