Natty Narwhal now available

[Guest S*rca****sid]

Ubuntu Natty Narwhal is now available for download.

 

Ubuntu Linux, easily one of the most popular Linux distributions available today, is out with what may be its most significant set of changes to date. 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" has brought with it not just major version jumps for nearly every core app and service, but also a completely revamped Unity interface.

 

Ubuntu 11.04 is also available in several variants, including the KDE-based Kubuntu, lighter-weight Xubuntu, Edubuntu, and more. These derivatives allow users to have all the updated features of the underlying OS while using the interface of their choosing, like KDE or XFCE.

Can ubuntu be used with windows programs? If so, only some, or all of them?

 

Thanks

There is a program called Wine which you can install on Ubuntu. Its not perfect by any means. You can find a list of supported applications here http://appdb.winehq.org/

 

Personally I would just run VirtualBox and install a proper Windows OS on it.

What programs are you referring to?

Wine is good and does a lot these days but if you dont find the programs you need supported you could try the paid version from codeweavers "CrossOver" http://www.codeweavers.com/products/

 

The programs marked in GOLD work VERY well
