The official version of Ubuntu 10.13 will be released on Thursday of this week. The foreign media PCworld communicated with the relevant persons in charge of Canonical. Canonical said that Ubuntu 11.10 has completed the key work. The person in charge of the interview was Mark Baker, Ubuntu server product manager, and Allison Randal, Ubuntu Technical Architecture engineer. Ubuntu 11.10 will bring us a new desktop experience.
Important progress
Randal said that the development of Ubuntu 11.10 desktop version focuses on ease of use. Most of the tasks since the introduction of the Unity desktop environment in Ubuntu 11.04 are mainly focused on improving its interface. "We have done a lot of user tests with the goal of recreating the Linux Desktop style to make it easier to use and closer to consumers ." Although Unity has been challenged, most voices have changed.
GNOME 3 will also be packaged in Ubuntu 11.10, as well as the Unity 2D and Unity 3D desktop environments.
Data backup
Another new feature of Ubuntu 11.10 is data backup, which has become a standard for Ubuntu software. With Deja Dup, commercial and individual users can start to back up local data or store it to the Ubuntu One private cloud. It is easy for users to recover and provides the Restore point function.
Ubuntu One cloud storage can be run on Android, iOS, and PC. Users can easily share files, stability, and images through Ubuntu One. 5 GB storage space is currently provided free of charge.
ARM-based cloud computing
In terms of servers, Ubuntu 11.10 also has a major aspect.
Baker said that using Ubuntu as a cloud platform in the future is an important action for us. Currently, Ubuntu 11.04 provides OpenStack preview. Baker added: this is the starting point for Ubuntu cloud to actually run on OpenStack. Just last week, HP also chose Ubuntu as its cloud platform server. Perhaps another important software code, "Ensemble", will provide services in Multi-cloud architecture, workstation services, etc.
Another aspect is that Oneiric Ocelot will support ARM processors. Baker explained that most of this is based on server deployment density and power consumption. In this way, we can better solve this problem, Ubuntu as a platform.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is no longer a small vocabulary. System Administrators, developers, and expert users, as well as the rapidly growing family users, all choose Ubuntu as the main system platform to make PC easier and safer to use.
