Ubuntu 9.10 released

[Mario Spinthiras]

Ok. This is about as far as I go with Ubuntu (desktop). The server is
progressing in exactly the right direction. But for the love of God! , what
is going on with the visuals? It has been "brown" for as long as I remember,
and now it is moving toward yellow. That is more than enough reason to know
it will look horrible on my macbook screen.

Take into consideration that lots of people in the blogosphere have been
moaning about this for a long time and Canonical still hasn't pulled through
with this. The fact that Ubuntu looks appalling in terms of theming is not a
shallow statement. After all, I'm not the only Linux geek with an opinion
like this.

In any case, something has to be done, urgently, before people decide to
start using Amigas again =)
