Your Release Notes are very obviously not up to date!

http://wiki.ubermix.org/page/Ubermix_Changelog

1.32 being the latest notes for v1.x yet the Downloads page is for v1.4!

Although where is 1.5? Ubuntu 12.04.5 has come out, which should have signalled a point update from yourself. You promise to keep v1.x updated until May 2015! And your Blog is even more out of date! Or at least has different selections of info...


On the Downloads/Installation page you really should have a clear, easy to find Minimum Requirements section! I am considering installing on some old, donated laptops at a school in Nepal but your use of Unity makes me think it just isn't going to run very well!!

On that note how about updating the page on Alternative Desktops? Giving some indication whether they even exist after v1.05 would be helpful!!


I don't know the full range of specifications of the computers here but for example, one I looked at this morning had a 1.7GHz Celeron processor and 512MB of RAM. Obviously this will struggle with Unity! Should I consider 2.1L or 1.4? Or are these things too ancient to even consider this distro??

kazakore:
Also you really should include Dates in your Release Notes, not just Version Numbers! It really helps give people an idea of how active a project actually is! Nothing else can tell you the time difference between say 1.0.4 and 1.0.5!!


PS - Your anti-BOT measures are really over the top!!! Why do you feel quite so much is needed??
PPS Assuming everybody knows about America for the BOT measures is totally sucky too!!

Juan Pucheu:
It's a non profit project. You can register in the wiki, and update all the outdated info

urkomasse:
We will happily refund you your Ubermix licensing costs :)

I'll just look into my crystal ball and get all the information I obviously don't have!! There was a really beeping stupid, wise-crack comment to make!!!!


Although, to be fair, my post did kinda deserve it! It's what happens when I go to track down information which isn't available when I have a cracking headache from being in a 12ft squared room filled with screaming children!!


Maybe I can get a more reasonable reply on the only real question in my posts, as some things are still appealing to this distro over the official Edubuntu....

Will it run nicely with any of the included DEs on a laptop such as a 1.7GHz Celeron with 512MB RAM. If so would V2.x-L or V1.x be more recommended?

Regards and apologies for the aggressive posting. :)
