Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1 is out!
The overall look and layout of Ubuntu 11.04 seems much different as compared to its predecessor version 10.10(Maverick Meerkat), probably due to the new desktop ‘Unity’. The drag and drop reordering features in launcher icons is pretty cool.
Some Important Changes/features of Natty(ubuntu 11.04) are –
- Unity as default Desktop session
- Network manager Applet as appindicator
- Libre Office 3.3.2 for the office stuffs
- Firefox 4.0 as default web browser
