uBuntu 13.04 is now available for download from official website (link below). The version, officially called 'Raring Ringtail' is the latest version of the popular the Linux distribution. The uBuntu team calls it 'the fastest and most visually polished uBuntu' yet and we're curious to ask our readers their opinion on the latest release. It looks like the engineering team behind the OS is taking cautious steps to prepare the OS for seamless mobile & tablet experience it's targeting in the coming weeks. As we type this post, the download is in progress on our machines and we hope to post a follow-up soon. In the mean time, let's have a look at what's new in 13.0.
The official press release focuses on performance and user interface improvements in the latest update. It promises better compatibility on lightweight systems and faster responsive times for regular users. Raring Ringtail offers reduced memory footprints which should benefit most of the users.
Under the hood, the OS packs Linux Kernel 3.8.0-19-29 and on the front end, offers Unity 7. Most importantly, Unity 7 offers is typo-tolerant search in the dash when you are searching for any application. For example, if you are search for gedit and type gdit, the system will still locate the correct program. The workspace switcher icon indicates the current active desktop (provided you've enabled them from Settings -> Appearance >> Behaviour Tab). The search has been improved to be a lot faster in this version.
Other quickly noticeable changes include Unity style shutdown/logout/suspend dialogs, new icons, window snap animation to show preview etc.
We'll update this post as we discover the new unity interface. In the mean time, you may tell us about your favorite uBuntu 13.04 feature / improvement.
