Utubu: Ubuntu's smarter, and friendlier brother.

[Silicate Wielder]

Current Build:0005

Ok, so i've been messing around with my ubuntu setup and have accomplished many things as well as making my setup a bit more user friendly. and is no longer grub based, it now runs on Burg which is a custom bootloader for ubuntu that can be edited to how someone wants, but unfortunatly i am unable to edit the bootloader since i have no idea when it comes to terminal based bootloader editing, however I added in a taskbar that is more friendly than the sidebar and yes, I know your going to probably nag me about this but i've found alot of things i can do with unity to improve apon where ubuntu 11.10 was left off at. Many of which include gui changes such as themes and such.
as well as the ability to import your own GUI themes, Icon packs, and I'm still working on this but i'll add in installing cursor packs. I even added in a new login screen background. it will also come with pre-installed support for windows programs like Paint or Windows Mediaplayer.

Bugs:
Taskbar not starting automaticaly on login/startup. (hit Ctrl + fn + F2 to open the command bar and then type "tint2" and hit enter. Sorry but this is a bug i need to fix)
startup sound not playing

If your running windows, then this is great for if you wish to run something diffrent without losing the ability to run Windows programs like Windows Media player or IE8/9

theme: Cool blue, A cool look for a cool OS.

So...do we get to download it or anything? Or is this just an informational thread?

I think Ubuntu should be left as it is, unless you've managed to greatly reduce the file size of the dvd image and how much it takes up on the hard drive.

So what I understand you've done is:

Add wine to the default software
Modified the theme from the defaults to something you like better
Edited the bootloader setting

...and rebranded it as a derivative, even though pretty much everything else is exactly the same. Well, alright then, but it doesn't really qualify as a "new OS". People would be more likely to use your...modifications...if you just put it as a package and commercialized it, you know. People are not going to change their entire operating system just because of the GUI. If we did, the whole world would be using Gnome3 on either Unix or Linux.
