What Normal Users Can Expect From Ubuntu 8.10 511
notthatwillsmith writes "With Ubuntu 8.10 due to be released in just a few days, Maximum PC pored through all the enhancements, updates, and new features that are bundled into the release of Intrepid Ibex and separated out the new features that are most exciting for Linux desktop users. Things to be excited about? With new versions of GNOME and X.Org, there's quite a bit, ranging from the context-sensitive Deskbar search to an audio and video compatible SIP client to the new Network Manager (manage wired, Wi-Fi, VPN, and cellular broadband connections in one place)."

I use babelfish to auto-translate my documentation to French to encourage people who don't like it to submit patches. Ubuntu is simply applying the same principle of ugly defaults to the desktop, brilliant!

So, it seems like you are saying a lot about the brown, one might even say you are making noise about it, perhaps a brown noise?

What's with all the blue color schemes, anyway? Personally, I hate the blue desktops a lot of people seem to favor, finding them cold and lifeless.
Blue? You think we'll use any random shade of blue? Of course not. [wikipedia.org]

In most cultures, brown is associated with shit, scat, gay sex, etc.
Really? I never had any particular color association with gay sex. But perhaps that's because I'm not so involved in that sort of thing.
