Ubuntu 9.10

[vmplanet]

Ubuntu 9.10 brings changes small and large that all have a common purpose - to make Ubuntu the most user-friendly operating system available. Ubuntu 9.10 features a redesigned, faster boot and login experience, a revamped audio framework, and improved 3G broadband connectivity, all of which contribute to a first-class user experience. Furthermore, the innovative '100 Paper Cuts' initiative organised with the Ubuntu Community allowed users to nominate minor annoyances that impacted their enjoyment of the platform. So far over 50 fixes have been committed, removing minor irritants such as inconsistent naming or poorly organised application choices.

You're only likely to use all your 15Gb allowance if you download a lot of TV programs and movies. Video at standard 625 line PAL is about 2Gb per half hour. Don't even think about 1080p! A typical film will be 5-7Gb but a music track (without video) is only a few Mb. A piece of text like this will be a few Kb and a photograph depends how compressed it is but perhaps 2Mb.

If your business broadband is mainly business or reading text, you'll never come near to using your allowance.
