Natty Narwhal - Ubuntu 11.04

Ubuntu by Canonical
I have checked the official Ubuntu site and they have a good news for Linux users. The Natty Narwhal has end its beta phase, means it's released. What's new? Canonical adds some new toys to play, starting from The Launcher, which is an icon dock with a perfectly adapted function of Star Dock, Object Dock and etc. then they adds The Dash, why 'dash'? Because it will make the search being more efficient than in older versions, you know what? That 'dash' is a start menu with search bar, just like in Linux Mint. And the other function is merely same with some bug fixes. But the real good news is Linux Mint, Super OS, and Ultimate OS will develop their new version too, that's what we Linux user waiting for. Because as we know, Ubuntu have many problems in hardware drivers. They doesn't include the drivers so we should download it manually. Some people thinks, it's good it gonna be more flexible. Yes it is, but in many packages (some of old version) doesn't include any network driver which is the most critical thing. That's why some people choose Ubuntu-based distros to solve it. But until now Ubuntu is the most used Linux distribution all over the world. They choose Ubuntu for its ease of command. The most favorite command is 'apt-get', which used to get packages of drivers, and softwares. Maybe some of Ubuntu users have forgotten the base of Ubuntu, Debian. That distribution has been eradicated by the power of Ubuntu. Ha ha, overstated. Nah, just check yourself by get the Natty Narwhal by here:
