It’s that time of the year again, the spring release of the latest Ubuntu distro, 10.4, Lucid Lynx! It’s always very exciting to be one of the first users of the latest Ubuntu offering, and this time proves to be no exception. The latest features are fresh and exciting and we will outline some of the highlights below.
- Greater support for nVidia graphics drivers
- more seamless integration of social networking services like Twitter and Facebook
- removal of HAL from boot process to speed startup
- The latest GNOME environment for the default version of Ubuntu
- Kubuntu features KDE SC 4.4
- New themes and wallpapers are also added
- Ubuntu One file synching
- Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud is updated
- Ubuntu One Music Store will be unveiled
- Linux kernel 2.6.32
- Mozilla Firefox browser default search engine changed to Yahoo!
It certainly looks like this update to the most popular Linux distro is more than just minor changes, and more profound improvements to this great package are arriving.

I’m kind of confused. Wasn’t Firefox browser default search engine changed to Yahoo, before , in Ubuntu 9.10? From What I heard until now they decided to change it back to Google.

Greetings,
I upgraded my wife’s Toshiba Satellite A105-S2001 to 10.4 from 9.4. It is running pathetically slow now.
Any ideas?
btw
I can get around fine in windows environment but am have difficulty stumbling around in Linux … like loading software that doesn’t auto load.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have.
