Yo! Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Beta 1 is now ready for download and testing. This release of Natty has gone through rigorous development and is now shining with Unity 3.6.8, latest Linux kernel, New wallpapers, Unity panel updates and much more. Ubuntu 11.04 has reached feature freeze and user-interface freeze. All the updates regarding new features and improvements in UI are almost done. There is another good news that Ubuntu Netbook Edition is not separate now, Unity for desktops is the same Unity for Netbooks, that means Unity has united Ubuntu Desktop edition and Netbook edition. So conclusion is that Unity has got something for everyone.

Right after the release of Linux Mint 10 ‘KDE’ the Mint Devs have rolled out a very lightweight version of Mint i.e Mint 10 ‘LXDE’ (Lightweight X-window Desktop Environment). Its an Ubuntu based OS yet again but with a lot of modifications on the part of usability and system usage. Its fast, its light, its looks really good and ofcourse its Minty. This distro reminds us of Lubuntu 10.10 which is also very LXDE based but is much more polished than that ofcourse

A bit long title for this post though but to start with the Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal’s default desktop environment viz ‘Unity‘ that just got updated to version 3.6. This release comes with a lot of bug-fixes and updates. The recent upgrade to Unity and other programs just made Unity even more usable by fixing many bit-size bugs. The process is still being continued as Natty reached ‘feature freeze’ as per the schedule and now, there will not be any significant feature improvements. The developer team will now be focusing on Stability and Looks of Ubuntu. As Natty has reached only Alpha 2, we wont suggest you to get it on your machines due to stability reasons (still an Ubuntu freak then go on)but to keep you updated, we have come up with some significant features & improvements in Natty from software packages to Unity.

Ultimate Edition, an unofficial derivative of Ubuntu as we have already discussed is a full fledged customized version of Ubuntu with all the updates and a big list of programs, plugins etc. which are lacking in Ubuntu due to Copyright laws and other reasons. The latest version of Ultimate Edition is 2.8 and it is (obviously) based on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
