Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 Released, Synaptic Removed

for the noobs like myself an icon with a dictionary style list of the main differences of the different versions and the uses of them would help to decide what one i need

I wonder what software they use to replace Synaptic.

They used the Ubuntu software center.

Ubuntu Software Center

Synaptic. If you really want it, install it. You can use apt-get, software center, etc... CD is only that big, not everything can fit on it. If you haven't notices, gimp is not on the CD, pitivi is not on the CD, not even full libreoffice is on CD. I mean, it's just an install CD :)

Ubuntu Software Center. And you can, of course, install Synaptic again from USC.

graphical: software-center
console: aptitude

The fist and most important thing to do after downloading is to remove software center and re install synaptic

Linux will finally get a bit of design... although after 5 year I finally got used to the lack of design in Linux apps. Maybe I stay with gnome 2.x :P

Synaptic was nice

Xubuntu the best of all include Synaptic.

I remember when you said "Don't believe the others, Synaptic won't be removed". Now it's in the title. Very professional!

i am GUI guy,if I don't see it I don't need it.Sypnatic was never one app that I use often,maybe once after installation to install Compiz but that was it.

Hope I can put a version of Gnome back on it...

its amazing how little I care for screenshots, by the time Im finished changing the desktop to how I WANT IT, it looks nothing like that.

have I mentioned I hate defaults?

I am curious what Muon is thought.

I have Kubuntu 10.04 LTS on my dad's computer, I have Kubuntu 11.04 on my mom's laptop (dad read about Shttleworth years ago but hates Gnome), 10.10 on my son's Dell Mini netbook and 10.10 on my laptop as well as the 11.10 beta. I was telling my dad that while his computer is always updated, we install him 12.04 LTS when it comes out and he tells me "Why? Ive seen mom's laptop and yours what is the difference between them? They all look the same."

I got my folks into Linux when KDE4.2 came out and its been smooth sailing since but I sort of miss (not really) the old days when the jump between each version was something you couldnt wait for but now it seems that the increments are smaller and smaller. But Ive looked back at Kubuntu 5 recently and without any kind of understanding where we were and were we are now, youd be forgiven to think that it was a POS.

Since PCLinuxOS solved my wifi problems about 5years ago, there havent been many big mountains to climb (video cards isnt ideal but ok) and I sometimes long for those days.

Why would you remove synaptic? It's a great tool and it should stay in there.!

It is available if you want to use it.
Even an octogenarian like me can manage that.
