Canonical has released the latest version of Ubuntu, 14.04 LTS and desktop and server installers are available on the Ubuntu website for download. The Long Term Support (LTS) release is supported and maintained by Canonical for five years and is also known as Trusty Tahr, as per Canonical’s naming scheme.

Not only will 14.04 be available for PCs and Servers, it will also form the basis of the first Ubuntu tablets, from Canonical’s OEM partners.

Thanks to the release coming a little over a week after the end-of-support for Windows XP, Canonical is billing this as a perfect replacement for the departing OS. Jane Silber, CEO at Canonical said in a press statement, “It is a viable and affordable alternative for those organisations considering a switch from Microsoft, and specifically those replacing XP or Windows 7 as they come to the end of life.”

The only sad thing is that I have to redownload all the apps again (almost about 15gb!! )
That also on my new 30KBps speed network

Amen to that brother.
But this can be a good alternative for Windows xp but not everyone is comfortable with Linux so that will be a kind of point to look out for.

download the offline .deb packages and save them for future use

PS: Linux Mint is better than Ubuntu IMHO for end users.
