Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.

After the new themes introduced yesterday, Canonical decided to update the boot splash screen (USplash) theme with a very nice one. As you can see in the image below, the logo is the same as it was in Ubuntu 8.10, but it's smaller and the loading bar was replaced with a thinner and nicer one (see the images below for more details).

But wait... surprise, surprise, there's another wallpaper! Well, I guess Canonical wanted to show that they can listen to their users and offer them freedom of choice. However, the first one above is set as default, for now.
