Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is finally released. Oh you are wondering what is LTS. Let me explain, LTS stands for Long Term Support. LTS release of Ubuntu comes every two years and have extended support from Canonical. This LTS of Ubuntu 12.04 is codenamed as "Precise Pangolin".In previous releases, a Long Term Support (LTS) version had 3 years support on Ubuntu (Desktop) and 5 years on Ubuntu Server.
Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, both versions will receive 5 years support. Now what else is new is in this version of Ubuntu ? Okay, you will see the new Unity interface in this version,latest version of Unity boasts more than just performance gains. Also you will see the HUD (Head Up Display). HUD the menu replacement and i am pretty sure you gonna love it. It is something like Google instant search, as you type something in the search box it tries to complete the search by generating some auto suggestions, HUD is something very similar to that, you type in the search box and it will try to generate the some auto suggestions and you can select from them to open the right. You can use it everywhere including terminals to increase productivity.This is the best change in Precise Pangoline.Here is a video which brings you a little closer to HUD.( Sorry i haven't created this video )
Banshee Music Player is also replaced by Rhythmbox, this change you may gonna love, (at least i loved it, i always hates Banshee). Ubuntu One control panel is also revamped.

There are also little changes in the buttons and widgets, and it seems to be compatible to various virtual machines like VMware and Oracle Virtual Box. So by the time you must be thinking of trying this LTS, so head on to Ubuntu's website and download the .iso image for free. And as always folks, i am hungry for the feedback and suggestions, keep visiting.
