Wow, what an awesome development cycle! The Lucid Lynx has matured to a ripe old age of 10.04 and now brings you 3 years of support through free security and maintenance updates for your desktop. The Kubuntu team, as well as the entire Ubuntu community, did an awesome job this cycle and my hats off to each and every one of you, job well done friends!
Some new things for this release include:
- New branding
- KDE Plasma Desktop 4.4
- An official Kubuntu Netbook Remix featuring KDE Plasma Netbook 4.4
- Amarok 2.3
- Installer slideshow (I did the text, so read it! Let me know how horrible it is and we can fix that up in future releases)
- KDE integration for Firefox
- and more…
One mission down, many more missions to go. Next mission, Kubuntu Maverick Meerkat! That’s right, cat with a ‘K‘ ๐
