And there’s no way to setup the mail notification just to get Gmail notifications (without the involvement of Evolution). Only gripe I have is that one of these indicator applets doesn’t let you remove the “mail” icon, so it takes up space on my netbook’s limited screen space for nothing - since I don’t use Evolution (I only use Gmail, online). Canonical has done a lot of work reworking the look and functionality of their main applets, and this has paid of. In terms of new features, there is a new dark theme, and new notification applets into play, which I thought they looked and functioned well.
Since I’m preparing the 512 MB netbook for my mom, who she can’t use a computer yet (I’m hoping to teach her when I visit her soon), I think 512 MB will be enough for her. I calculated that I’d need about 768 MB of RAM as a minimum for a more “involved” usage pattern. However, if you’re not using Open Office, or installing lots of packages, or having too many Firefox tabs open, 512 MB of RAM should be enough. I also noticed that after having the machine used for a few days without a reboot, the RAM usage will go up little by little, as evident in my screenshot below.

Two of my laptops have 512 MB of RAM (I will upgrade one of these to 1 GB, but not the other, because that netbook is too messy to open up), and while the system would start up using only about 130 MB of that RAM, by the moment I would use the package manager, it’d use up all that RAM, plus an additional 150 MB of swap. Since these updates, everything has been rock solid, and with a good performance.Ĭompared to older releases, this version requires more RAM.

Originally, I had a stability issue with a complete lockup, but after the first update packages hit the mirrors, the problem disappeared (I’m guessing that I was hitting the well-publicized Intel gfx driver issue). Only thing I’d like added in that screen would be a battery life indicator. The new login screen is beautiful and functional. It loads at around 10 seconds on my hard drive-based laptops, and in about 15 seconds on my SSD-based ones. The only setting that was not preserved was under my husband’s account: the “two finger scrolling” setting on the Synaptic mouse panel was reverted to “edge scrolling” after upgrading. I remember back in the day when upgrades occasionally would break X11 etc, but not this time. In all cases, either installing from scratch (in 2 of my laptops), or upgrading (in the rest 2 of my laptops), everything worked perfectly. The installation is much simpler and more to the point that ever before.

I installed this new version on four of my laptops (2 netbooks, 1 normal laptop, 1 portable desktop replacement), and here’s my impression of it. The recently released 10.04 version of Ubuntu is the third Long Term Support (LTS) version Canonical has released.
