Tried out Lucid Lynx 10.04 and I’m impressed. A Huge improvement since the last couple of releases. My favorite Ubuntu release so far was Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS, however after checking out 10.04 it’s easily at No.1. This time around everything worked magically and it worked well even with my new Dell Inspiron 1564 laptop. Bluetooth, Webcam, ATI, grub2, etc.
Ubuntu 10.04
Download Ubuntu from: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
If you want to have a nice grub2 theme then install gimp. Open the image you want to have as your grub background and set the image canvas size according to your monitor’s resolution [e.g. for me it's 1366x768]. Then save the image as .tga file in /boot/grub. Edit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme and set the Wallpaper line to /boot/grub/image.tga and you may also want to change the highlight/background colors, then run:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Enjoy!

Honestly ubuntu 10.4 is ok, but Kubuntu 10.04 is piece of crap – it’s bloated, unresponsive, contorted ….. Sombody should relieve developers from their misery.

kubuntu is never developed properly. They really should drop that project.

Hi,
Yesterday I have installed ubuntu 10.04 and its looks better, but one problem is bluetooth.
I can’t detect the bluetooth devices. But bluetooth icon appearing on desktop panel, when I click the preferene one window displayed with a button ‘Trunob bluetooth’ . Once i click that button still its not enabled and nothing happens further. I simply closed that window.
Could you tell me how to activate the bluetooth?
Note: Intel 1564, i3, 250 GB, 2GB memory.
Thanks in advance
