Such a long delay in releasing a new version can be explained as the stability of the previous release, and a significant number of changes, including those related to otvyazki netcfg from the system initialization distribution.The new release has appeared in [testing] for a long time, and for the time being there have been several increases in the version number, but adding to the stable package repository and placing messages on the release took place just now.

The main changes are:

  • wifi-menu – command line utility with a pseudo-interface, based on dialog, an informal alternative to the package wifi-select to select the wireless network from the list;
  • Improved support for systemd;
  • a new type of connection for PPPoE-connections;
  • removed support for types of connections with the suffixes-old,-dbus,-iproute – use the types of connections without a suffix;
  • somewhat changed the syntax of the command line;
  • netcfg no longer depends on initscripts.

From the not so big, but still iconic changes worth noting:

  • netcfg appeared in your site ;
  • configuration in the / etc / rc.conf (array NETWORKS) deprecated, users are encouraged to read the settings in / etc / conf.d / netcfg;
  • scripts in / etc / network.d / hooks are no longer supported, because “they are still no use.”

Also, a number of changes associated with dhcpcd and interfaces, and many bug fixes.

This game «Lords of Ultima» and «Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances», working in the system default browser. Games are created in a MMOG and popular universes Ultima and C & C, respectively.

Both games are available free of charge. To install them, you must have Canonical, for example, you can use the data from your account on launchpad.net. The games themselves require, however, a separate registration.

Despite the fact that both games are of no particular interest in terms of technology and in fact through the store Ubuntu comes with only a reference to a web page game itself is of interest to sell EA games on the platform, Ubuntu is not good.

What does this mean? Simple, you most likely will begin the development of the EA games ported to linux, after the revelation of Valve, who wanted to take Steam on Linux specifically Ubuntu, EA also released from the burrow and go to meet the penguin. In addition, Crytek, creators of Far Cry and Crysis series was ready for the porting of its OpenGL graphics engine, the CryEngine 3 . This leads us to believe that huge mass of Software House begin to think about the Penguins, you think that EA, in order to compete with Steam, bring his client Origin Ubuntu, then all other distributions, and is now! Many people admit to not switch to using Linux for 3 reasons:

1) There are professional programs such as AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc..
2) Does not have the support they offer Windows
3) There are no video games now, has already been denied (in part) the first statement, since there are programs that
work the same way but with different names (DraftSight, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, etc..) the second statement is bullshit from the beginning, so it was never taken seriously the the third was the only one that could not be denied, games for windows are more beautiful than those for Linux, there is no comparison between those humble bundles and “serious” we are on Windows, but this hopefully will change Within a few years, however, is the development of video games always brings the benefits of optimization to video cards (in particular) and processors, then to be improved if the drivers are open, well, Linux will be full at 99% in my opinion, we hope it is a simple flash in the pan destined to become extinct very soon. Moreover we hope that you do not just prefers Ubuntu, Ubuntu is an excellent distribution, very beautiful, functional, easy to use etc.. But, do this “racism” towards other distribution goes against the philosophy of Linux, already many people (including me) do not go down that Canonical has made ​​the Ubuntu One client for all platforms in the world except the linux distro,

There are porting the Client for Windows, MacOS X, Android and iPhone OS, but not such as OpenSUSE, Fedora etc.. if the Steam client and Origin will be just for Ubuntu, we would see another take-off of this distribution, at the expense of others, this is not bad, but neither is good, because Ubuntu is for everyone, but not all, ie, Ubuntu to start and work is perfect, but after a bit of a geek starts to become “close”, but if the client will be available for all distributions (Debian based, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Gentoo and Slackware) there will be no problem, Indeed, perhaps the single Ubuntu users will have more
