Aw man I was hoping for more artwork from each release. I remember ordering a ton of the live CD's and handing them out all over my high school back in the Warty Warthog days. Ubuntu sure has come a long way.
- ihumanable 6y agoThe wikipedia page for Ubuntu Versions actually has screenshots from all the releases, but it's mostly stock desktop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history Still fun for a trip down memory lane, but I was also expecting there to be some now vs then style screenshots or a tour of the look and feel through the years in the article.

- dtarik 6y agoMe too! I used to order so much Ubuntu & Kubuntu Live CD's and handing them in my school. I was incredibly suprised that they managed to send huge boxes to me for free to Morocco and I was even more surprised that the unreliable post office of Morocco brought them to my house. They definitely came a long way, hopefully Canonical has been successful enough in the enterprise category that they manage to finance all of this till today.
