Donderdag is versie 11.10 van Ubuntu Linux uitgekomen. Tweemaal per jaar verschijnt er een nieuwe versie en net als bij de Catalyst-drivers van AMD vormen het jaar en de maand van uitgave het versienummer. In versie 11.10 zijn er onder andere diverse verbeteringen aan de gebruikersinterface Unity aangebracht. Zo is er nu ook een 2d-modus, waardoor Unity nu ook op oudere hardware gebruikt kan worden. Verder zijn er een groot aantal onderdelen bijgewerkt naar nieuwere versies en is het Software Center flink verbeterd. Meer informatie is in dit artikel op onze voorpagina te vinden.
What's new?
The release of Ubuntu 11.10 includes some clever enhancements to make your Ubuntu experience even more enjoyable. Take a look at what’s new and then feel free explore Ubuntu for yourself.
Ubuntu Software Centre
The Ubuntu Software Centre gives you instant access to thousands of apps. With the Ubuntu 11.10 redesign, you can see the top-rated apps, compare apps by rating and user reviews, keep track of what you’ve installed, and sync your apps between all your Ubuntu computers.
The launcher
It’s pretty hard to miss the launcher that sits on the left-hand side of your screen. It’s designed to make getting to your favourite tools and applications quick and easy. You can hide and reveal it, add and remove applications and bookmarks, and keep track of your open windows.
The dash
When you click on the Ubuntu logo in the top-left corner of the launcher, the new dash will appear. It’s another simple way to get to your shortcuts and search for other applications and programs. So you can get fast access to your email, music, pictures and much more. And you can search by type of app or file with our new filters menu.
Application switching
Ubuntu 11.10 gives you a really easy way to manage multiple windows and applications. You can use Alt + Tab and Alt + Grave to switch between applications or application windows. No more cramping multiple apps into a small space.
