Ubuntu's "Lucid Lynx" Enters Beta 366
ActionDesignStudios writes "The upcoming release of Ubuntu, titled 'Lucid Lynx,' has just entered the beta cycle. Alongside the usual desktop and server versions, a special version has been released that is designed to run on Amazon's EC2 cloud service. This release of Ubuntu does away with the brown 'Human' Gnome theme we've all become accustomed to, replaced by a new version Canonical says is inspired by light. The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook, among others."

Several gigs seems a bit bloated for a text based browser, but I'll give it a try.

Yeah, well screens are bigger now, so the text on them is much bigger, and therefore so are the fonts...
This is why I tell my friends to choose computers with a smaller screen size.

Well, you see, there's this thing called the "Window List" which lets you easily switch between these windows that are maximized. Also alt tab. If I don't need to be looking at more than one window at a time, what's the point in running a program un-maximized?
You know, so you can watch your porn while you comment on /.

I was excited about the Ubuntu One Music Store but then I found out it is gimped in Canada: indie artists only. So once again record labels keep my money out of their pockets! ;)
It's to make sure mistakes like Celine Dion are avoided again.

Is this a Lynx thing or something? When I enter this in my graphical web browser, all I get is
"Server not found, Iceweasel can't find the server at www.gconftool-2.com"

You're obviously not a Linux person. If you were, you'd know that the most important feature of a GUI is the icon that opens a command line window.

Hey now, anybody who does any Windows administration knows this too.
It's just that Windows is so easy to use most users never need to know the command window is there. ;)
