Submission + - Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Review (desktoplinuxreviews.com)

JimLynch writes: Since the launch of Desktop Linux Reviews, I've covered a number of different remastered versions of Ubuntu Linux. But I haven't done a review of Ubuntu itself. I wanted to wait until there was a significant enough release as I'd done a review for ExtremeTech back when I was a full-time employee there.
