The first emotion that came upon me when testing the new Ubuntu was disapointment. The last release, although an LTS (Long Term Service) release had brought some radical changes to Ubuntu?s interface, featuring a complete new lookand the all-new ?indicator applets?. Ubuntu 10.4 was exciting, and although I was disapointed by some details, I couldn?t stop the child in me to rejoice. I felt as though Canonical had released the first really good Ubuntu release, the one all would future versions would be measured against. That is not the impression I had when first trying the Meerkat.The theme has barely changed and some obvious defects in the OS have remained. I was almost considering turning my back to this release and waiting for the next one. A deeper look revealed that there was much more to 10.10.
