Ubuntu 10.04 LTS has just been released and, with it, the big number of distros based on it start pouring in. Ultimate Edition is an Ubuntu-based release that aims to be, well, ultimate, packing in as much functionality and apps as possible. Ultimate Edition 2.6 bundles proprietary drivers, to get things running out of the box, and plenty of packages for the power users. If you like flashy themes, as many Compiz effects as your graphics card can handle and having everything plus the kitchen sink pre-installed, then this is the Linux distribution for you.

Ultimate Edition 2.6 is fast & lacks no feature. Wireless was my #1 concern it is squashed & works out of the box. I have embedded many features I am certain you will be glad to have. The screenshots you are about to view is me installing Ultimate Edition 2.6 on my machine. I will be honest in informing you that some of you ATI users will be capable of firing up compiz fusion right off the live disk as I am doing (all gpu’s will hopefully be supported in the same aspect in the future),” the official announcement read.

I have introduced Cheese for you webcam users. Cinelerra, K3d & Kdenlive are just a few new tools in this O/S. We have put GIMP back in as well. There are tools that go well beyond the call of duty. I will not tell you what Ultimate Edition 2.6 has in store for you. Take it for a spin, you won’t be sorry,” it continued.
