=== Ubuntu Linux 12.04 One-Ups Windows and Mac, Shuttleworth Says ===
Katherine Noyes of PCWorld wrote about Mark Shuttleworth's blog post
where he asserted that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS represents the first time
"real desktop user experience innovation is available on a full
production-ready enterprise-certified free software platform, free of
charge, well before it shows up in Windows or MacOS."
"Still, I think it's interesting to hear the magnitude of
Shuttleworth's assertions this time around. Ubuntu 12.04, apparently,
isn't just another release, in Canonical's view--it's the first solid
look at what Canonical wants its distro to be in the coming years, and
how it plans to advance in a desktop market still dominated by Windows
and Macs," Noyes noted.

=== How Linux is changing lives in Zambia ===
Adam Oxford of Tech Radar does an in-depth report of work being done
by several organizations in Zambia using open source software to
increase communication within developing communities. The goal is to
achieve this through broader availability of Internet access and
computer labs, computer training, and other services. They have an
"Ubuntu Campus" for their small technology training college "named in
honour of a certain popular distribution and the ideal behind the
name." The article reports that they "also install open source
alternatives such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Libre Office, Gimp,
Audacity etc. We utilise Ubuntu as our primary distro, though we do
keep tabs on other distros."

== In The Blogosphere ==
=== Is Ubuntu 12.04 a Linux Game Changer? ===
Matt Hartley of Datamation writes about how, despite being critical of
Unity, that Unity offers a stable configurable desktop experience.
Hartley says, "Thanks to the HUD (heads up display), more Unity-based
configuration options, support for Sandy Bridge, and improved power
consumption, Ubuntu 12.04 is shaping up to be a really solid release."
