Exploring Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal !!

Last time I had posted something about Ubuntu was in Jan 2010.

It was about Ubuntu 9.10. After that I got into some things related to my work and could not concentrate much on Ubuntu releases though I used to download the releases and carry them.


This weekend, I had planned to download and install the Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal. Everything went well as planned and I am very happy. 

1) The look and feel is very awesome, and its changed quite well when compared to the earlier releases of Ubuntu. Now the default look on the screen is like the Vista Theme. 

2) Twitter, FaceBook accounts come along with Empathy IM.


3) The FireFox 5.0 is very awesome and default in Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal :). 


4)The app launcher is like the Samung Galaxys Home Screen, with a search tab at the top, which is so so cool. 


5) Searching the applications based on their type. 


6) The usual Compiz-Fusion and the WorkSpace Switcher :)

7) Comes with default LibreOffice Writer and Gimp Image Editor :)


Still many more features to explorer and more precisely the above ones were GUI related. A lot to explore w.r.t the TERMINAL. Will update those experiences as soon as possible. 



Happy Ubunting :) :)
