Ubuntu 10.04 Drive Overview

Describing Ubuntu touched almost everything: appearance, convenience, customization, programs, and so on. But one thing is not touched, with what begins Ubuntu, what users see first, not with the installation, but with the appearance of the disk.

This mini-review should be considered as a joke, no more. This is not a serious article, but j4f.
And so we order a disk through Request an Ubuntu CD :

We receive in a month (I have arrived in 25 days) an envelope from Canonical:

Open it and see a beautiful, stylish box in purple tones:

The same rear view:

It can be seen that the result of the Ubuntu redesign has benefited. The face of the system already appears, and I want to touch this system. Here is what you can read in Full Circle Magazine :
The new style of Ubuntu 10.04 is based on the idea of ​​light.
Light inspired us: it means warmth, clarity and lightness, which is very much appreciated in the programs. A good program should be easy in the sense that it uses resources efficiently, starts up quickly and changes easily if necessary. Ubuntu is a rejection of bloated proprietary operating systems [...]. More and more messages are transported by the light, and in the future, data processing will also depend on our ability to work with the light.
I honestly did not like the old style of Ubuntu 9.10, there was not any zest. Beautiful, but something was missing:

Expand the envelope 10.04 and see a brief description of the features (in English):

The picture is clickable.

Of course I would like to read all this in my native language, it would be more pleasant.

The design of the box itself has changed slightly. Now there is a second bend so that the cover does not crease:

We get a stylish disk:

I like the design with the purple color game. You can even create demotivators:

That's basically it. The box is open, the disk is in the drive. Canonical goal achieved.

But finally: noticed by chance, if you look at the box inside, you will see a clear lynx kote :

In the previous version there was a karmic koala:

Concluding the review I want to say that the number of free disks with Ubuntu is greatly reduced : only one copy of the OS is sent to one email address, system updates will also be sent to the disks, but only once, then they will have to be downloaded from the Internet. Canonical will significantly reduce the cost of sending disks by mail, which have greatly increased due to the increase in the number of Ubuntu users.

UPD:
Sorry, take it easy. I answer: there are bubbles !

And use them too!
