It’s Ubuntu Evolution BABY!!!

Alright… I was siting on my computer with a little time to share…

I have seen several cool OS evolution, Fedora’s, and much recently I saw Window’s (they missed Millennium Edition). I have seen tons and tons of screenshots of Ubuntu screenshots on the web. So I decided to set up this little evolution for the Ubuntu desktops…

As I looked at them I remembered different moments in my last two years. It literally brought tears in my eyes. and one can only wait til Gutsy hits the mainstream :D .

This is a tribute to the Desktop Team… CHEERS GUYS…

P.S. maybe someone can do the same for Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, add infinitum… ;)

  4. Don’t use evolution and baby in the same sentence. It always remember me this clip from Pearl Jam
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=M7un15tCj30

    “Its evolution, baby”

  5. I did it with that in mind ;)

  6. Nice!

  7. Very cool. I think looking back, the best background goes to “Hoary”. It looks much more unique than the others. This is a great retrospective.

  8. Hoary was my favorite one.. and it was my first ubuntu and linux experience :D

    I still sherish those cd’s I got one day of may :D

  9. Brown to Orange. My times have changed.

  10. Being Ubuntu a ‘beautified’ Debian clone, sinceresly … i’m not seeing any sign of evolution here. Really. Oh well, wait: promoting closed source and propietary tools like Launchpad … yeah, LOL.

    Nah, Ubuntu is only a popular distro for extremly newbie users, without any real technical merit implemented (except all the work … copied from Debian). It’s a shame that all the hard work done by Debian isn’t being recognized … a shame. Nice move, Mr. Shuttleworth. A really nice marketing move. Shame on you.

  11. Somebree… we passed that page a couple of years ago…

    Here’s the hint… Launchpad is opening up ;)

    en avant

  12. [...] Ho trovato, grazie a pollycoke, una serie di articoli con le immagini dell’evoluzione di alcuni sistemi operativi. Qui sotto ci sono le immagini di Windows 1.01 e di Vista (dall’articolo con la storia di Windows), ma ci sono anche gli articoli dedicati a Fedora (un po’ datato a dir la verità, si ferma al 5) e Ubuntu.

  13. emm.. bookmarked..
