I downloaded a new Linux distro to DVD. It’s called Ubuntu Ultimate, and it is nice. I haven’t had a chance to explore it much, but what I have seen is great. It is gamer-oriented and the applications I have looked at so far, never show up on other distros. Things like Songbird and Democracy TV. I have loaded this on my test machine and will look at it further.
