Reason 6,113 why I love Ubuntu.
So over the last week or so I have converted both my notebook and desktop over to Feisty Fawn Beta. All in all I think they have made some major leaps in ease of use. The newer 2.6.20 kernel has some great advantages including (as always) better hardware support. But the details are where the new OS really shines. Codec support has made leaps and bounds over the previous version. Now you simply attempt to access a file that requires a codec, Ubuntu will notify you that you do not have the proper codec and then offer to download it. The really cool part is that it actually works contrary to my experiences with MS.
Another great thing I have recently discovered is Exaile. This music program puts anything I have seen to shame. Now I am sure many people are saying iTunes is tough competition, but Exaile clearly has an advantage…. NO DRM :)
I would give a more in depth review of Feisty and Exaile but I am sure there are enough of those out there. I just recommend you check out both and see for your self
