I have installed Ubuntu 6.06 - Flight-6 (proposed for official release onhi ,
June 1st) on my HP nx6120 Laptop. Almost all my problem which I noticed in
previous version (Breezy 5.10) have been solved in this release. Great! Just
within a 5-6 months, all these great things have happened.
Improvements over Breezy version:
1. Faster booting - takes just 55 seconds to get complete desktop (with auto
login) with default installation
2. Nice GUI shutdown
3. Faster GNOME - takes 3-4 seconds to get desktop from gdm.
4. Samba client and Server - I am able to connect to all my Windows PCs and
Servers in LAN without any issues (in breezy, it was not so - the
performance was not consistent). Shared Folder works just like that.
5. SMB Printer config - Able to configure easily, Windows (SMB) Printer
through GUI tool without any issue.
6. Unicode in Firefox - Tamil fonts are perfectly displayed
7. SCIM Input for Tamil - Amazing integration with Text applications such as
gedit and mousepad. This is first time I am able to successfully key in
Tamil in phonetic keyboard layout on Linux. It is just a matter of selecting
language from applet.
8. GNOMEBaker - import session works without any flaw.
9. OpenOffice - starts and works faster
10. GDebi Package installer - Double click .deb file to install it.
11. Power Management - Nice GUI tool for sleep, hibernate controls - (but
sleep and hibernat not working in my laptop - to be tweaked)
12. Better font rendering - additional font settings
13. Simple Sound Preference tool
This is what I am able to write, i might have missed other things. Some body
else can list out. Regarding issues, I will come up with another mail.
Hats off to Open Source - GNU- Linux - GNOME - Ubuntu team!
