Image of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a cdr match

The image of the april hatching Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin will still be on a cd-recordable fit. In addition, the operating system will offer the option to the privacy settings within Gnome.

Shortly after the release of Ubuntu 11.10 in October there was plenty of debate whether the limit of 700MB, the maximum storage capacity of a cdr, for the standard image of the Linux distribution released had to be. A lot of developers were of the opinion that this storage capacity is too limited to have all the necessary software packages. Therefore, the Precise Pangolin release an image size of 750MB.

Now the development of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is far advanced, and the first beta on march 1, was released, the release of the 700MB limit, yet not necessary, as it is to read on one of the Ubuntu bugtrackers; the current test versions have an image size of 703MB. According to Ubuntu most dvd-burners and the necessary burning software hassle-free a such iso-image, so 3MB is larger than the usually applied limit of 700MB on a cdr burn. Presumably, the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the 26th of april, also this file size.

Canonical wants Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, also provide more scope to the privacy of users to improve. By means of a dialog box, can the logs of various applications to be removed or can the creation of log data can even be disabled completely. These privacy settings currently have covers Gnome and applications within this window manager running; it is still unclear whether Canonical, even for non-Gnome applications, additional privacy options, will introduce, but the EFF has the initiative of Ubuntu already with approval received.
