Busy busy… nifty feature in Jaunty #1

Sorry for not being around on my blog. It’s been nuts with a new business coming up and working full time on top of it. And to make things even more exciting, my family is moving across town this next week.
Katri has certainly been excited as she has been packing almost every day. We are now down to the bare essential stuff until we have moved. It’s almost a week ahead of schedule so it’s a lot of “Honey, where’s my…” stuff. I don’t mind, WE ARE MOVING! Finally! Let’s hope this dady can bring enough bacon home.
I thought it might be nice to talk about some of the cool features I am finding in the latest releases of Ubuntu. Obviously similar distros will have alot of these features. But Jaunty will be my focus as everyone at least knows about ubuntu, but may not know all the new little changes that make our live in linux that much cooler.
So with that long explanation….
Did you know, synaptic package manager has a screen shot feature now?! That’s right! Pick a package, now click on the screen shot button! Spiffy, let’s hope we can get a large image too, now wait, it can! Just click on the image after it is loaded. It’s nice to see that changes in the interface that focus outside of the basic functionality scope. Keep up the good work guys! The icing would be to put a link so you can submit your own in classig social networking fashion. It would be a great way for someone to contribute to the community when they can’t do art work or develop.
