Cosa non troviamo:
  • Some GNOME apps will not be upgraded to 3.6 for the 12.10 release. If you want these, try the GNOME3 PPA. Affected apps include Aisleriot, Nautilus, System Settings, and Totem.
  • Web does not support Flash in Ubuntu 12.10 (1001229). If you need Flash, try Firefox or Chromium.
  • Boxes is not included as it didn't seem to be working (1038763) . Also, qemu-linaro (qemu-kvm-spice) doesn't built on i386 in Ubuntu. qemu-kvm with spice support does build in Debian though on i386. (928432)
  • Documents is not included as it currently depends on LibreOffice, at least as packaged in Debian & Ubuntu.
  • LibreOffice is a more powerful office suite.
  • Ubuntu One is not included by default as it doesn't feel like a GNOME app.
  • If you want the GNOME Classic with-effects session to work, install compiz.
  • If you want Ubuntu-style notifications in GNOME Classic, install notify-osd.

Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10 Alpha 2 è sconsigliato ai non sviluppatori e a tutti coloro che vogliono un ambiente lavorativo stabile (è pur sempre una versione Alpha).

Non è ancora stato reso disponibile il download diretto di Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10 e per questo se volete scaricarla dovete usare i files torrent dell'ISO adatta al vostro sistema:
Il prossimo rilascio programmato è previsto per il 27 Settembre con la Beta 2.
