Yuck at the theme and yuck at their site! Looks like some kids who think roughly 500MB of themes, gdms, icons, wallpapers etc would make a great distro.

Grow up, every Linux is the same and different at the same time, depends on how you use it. And don't drag Vista into this, it will only lead to another war.

And a perfect reply to this is....

You know one thing I like about the Ubuntu cd install is that it's light, just the way I like it. Making something like ultimate would be......well.......an ultimate bloat. But then, there are people who want that !!

I tried UU 1.7, it looked like Some kids had modified original Ubuntu and added some fancy "stuff". It is poorly tested and full of bugs.

I won't recommend it to anyone.
Instead Try Linux Mint or Dream Linux.

[MetalheadGautham]

Want an alternative install to ubuntu ? Get Linux Mint.

Don't waste time on crap like these.

[hellknight]

Its a resource hog.. it tried Ubuntu Ultimate 1.3 sometime back.. i had to manually shut down each service that was not supposed to run.. for eg.. Apache.. FTP.. etc etc.. Ubuntu is fine.. mod it.. and get Ubuntu Ultimate with a little footprint..

haha ! you make a very bad manager/executive.
dude show some mercy to the children. Its their attempt at linux.
Its kind of nice to see such a distro. that they have interest in linux and they are customizing it to their needs.

in the end its linux that's winning.

[khattam_]

Nice work by these guyz.. Actually, it is a pain to run Ubuntu if you have no internet connection.. and UU resolves this to some extent...

lololol
their site is the fail

I am studying CSE at a top college in Bangalore..
And many FOSS Leaders and top FOSS guys give seminars at our college from time to time.

They all have one thing to say... Don't talk, Do it and show.
It goes along with the FOSS.IN saying Show me the code.
Don't pass comments now. Lets see what can you do.. can you even manage to make a UU !!!

Talk is waste of time, Was so explicitly highlighted by FOSS India's Atul Chitnes !

go here and see at the FOSS.IN website.

“Talk is cheap - show me the code”

Show what you done to FOSS and Open Source. As said Talk is cheap. Show it.

Rightly said...

Hullap, don't waste time on commenting u kid..

[MetalheadGautham]

Point remains - don't install UU1.9 thinking its the version of ubuntu that "has everything".
Because Linux is not Windows. An ultimate distro would have 1TB of software installed.
This is just one of those newbie centric distros for the migrators from OSes like Macintosh and Windows.

[Garbage]

^^ sure...

[aditya.shevade]

Lolol

[Sathish]

i just uninstalled UU 1.8 ..it looks like kiddish.. dont compared to with vista/mac. (only for UI, not for performance)

Compared to apple leopard and microsoft vista, this OS is specially appealing to those people who want all glamour out of box along with loads of fancy i-don't-care-if-they-enhance-productivity-or-not compiz fusion plugins and yet don't want to learn anything to use it, and most importantly, don't want to pay a paise for it.

[Dark Star]

WHata ajoke.. People are creating useless distro like the one posted and Ubuntu Gamers and blah b;lah blah just utilizing web space for nothing ! I would say stay away from heap of distro and choose the right one.. I won't even risk my system to test distro like this

[Sathish]

"ubuntu" is a copyrighted name ?
anyone can use it ?

[MetalheadGautham]

Talking about Ubuntu Gamer's Edition Live DVD, I think the current release of linux-gamers edition pwns it totally since it is based on Arch Linux and hence has one of the fastest possible speeds and performance. BTW, it IS funny to imagine a geeky distro for gaming

[ankushkool]

this is just a good effort to bring linux to common ppl like us... or else it takes days just 2 set up a home pc using linux for a newbie... dont u ppl act as smart asses, i know u r smart but stop boasting.

WTH ? This is insane. 2 days to setup a distro ?

If you were using ubuntu, all you need to do is explore add/remove menu. Thats what I did when I was a newbie. It takes half an hour, but thats due to the sheer number of apps - you tend to get distracted from the main objective. Then add medibuntu repos using "those funny lines from the tutorial" in the terminal and then go to gnome-look (the best part) and start adding themes.

The whole process, including download time, takes just around 2 hours.

Man, everybody is not on "world's fastest internet connection" like you...

And you got V.V.V. high speed mirrors to download n install within 2 hours....

now welcome to real Bharat man... Still many users on Dial-up. n u say... just 2 hours... NOW WTH... :X

They tried their best to come up with their distro. You use or don't use. It's YOUR problem. Did they force you ??
Why u smart people kidding them ???

I never said it takes 2 hours to download the ISO and customise. I said the install and customisation time.
And if you use IIT-Chennai mirrors, you get very high speeds in South India.

And yeah, if they are dialup users, even for downloading the distro, it can take a whole month. They don't come into the picture at all in my reply (Debian Stable is best for them since 3 DVDs have everything they need). I was replying to ankushkool who said it takes 2 days to setup ubuntu from the scratch, by comparing my own time taken when I first installed ubuntu.

And finally, I never said Ubuntu Ultimate is the worst distro in the world. I just said its not the "big daddy" or whatever you call it when you compare it to ubuntu.

Then you should not even use Ubuntu and also not install lots of stuff on it. Because its risks your system that is.
UU is just cusotmized ubuntu with same kernel.
You turned out to be newb here bro. With not much rational thinking. Despite your shell knowledge.

[Dark Star]

Huh ! People can customize a distro themselves Also distro like this just packs lots of bloatware and useless stuff.. So whats the use of wasting bandwidth downloading useless stuff..

Ps : I don't use Ubuntu either

[QUOTE] UU is just cusotmized ubuntu with same kernel.[QUOTE]

Huh. thats obvious , whenever someone copy Ubuntu he/she copies everything only noticeable changes occur in set of apps and artwork ! Apart from that everything is same.. and I bet this distro uses Ubuntu repos too Just like Mint

[QwertyManiac]

I found it great-to-give for an offline Linux user, gave him lots of stuff to try about without whining he's got no internet to get something done.

But otherwise, for a user who knows what he's doing, it does include a large chunk of unnecessary or extra software.

[sarincv]

and what about playing media files??? earlier it did not have any built in mp3 support....

[QwertyManiac]

That was a matter of a few .debs I always carry with me. I guess now it does support media files, not too sure about it. I have the first version of it alone.

[Garbage]

It is having support for almost all types of media files now.. So it's good for offline users, who primarily use computers for Entertainment purposes.
