TheeMahn, the man behind the Ultimate Edition, a popular Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, announced a couple of days ago the 2.0 release of his open source operating system. Being built off Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) by hand, Ultimate Edition 2.0 is the most awaited and the most complete GNU/Linux operating system to date.

It has a lot of goodies that everyone expected from Ubuntu 8.10, like dozens of wonderful desktop themes, icon sets, login manager themes, boot splash themes and many wallpapers. We should also mention that Ultimate Edition 2.0 was injected with a new Linux kernel (better than the one in Ubuntu 8.10) and it also includes all the updates available as of November 13th, 2008. Ultimate Edition 2.0 is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

"This release has all the goodies pre-added from previous editions and a few new ones. I would like to be forthcoming in telling you that the usplash does not work and I apologize for that, there must have been some sort of drastic change in the usplash code. If I find a fix, a new ‘theme pack’ will be released to fix it." - said TheeMahn, the Ultimate Edition developer.

Surprise, surprise! With the new version of Ultimate Edition, TheeMahn also announced the release of Ultimate Gamers Edition 2.0, which includes all the applications present in the main edition and the following games, for all you players out there:

· Supertux · Actioncube · Assaultcube · Warsow · Wesnoth · Glest · Dreamchess · Sauerbraten · Gridwars · Vgacardgames · Alien arena 2007
· Brikx · Nexuiz · Vertris · Openarena · Pokerth · Snowballz · Chromium · Gnome-hearts · Open arena · Scorched3d · Urban terror

What is Ultimate Edition? First of all, you should know that it was previously known as Ubuntu Ultimate and it comes with everything you might need for your daily computer-related tasks. It can be used by everyone, from Linux beginners to experienced system administrators, as it is packed with applications ranging from media players to advanced tweaking utilities. Ubuntu Ultimate has out-of-the-box support for popular audio and video formats, and a complete open source office suite.
