If you're a Linux fan, you probably know that Ubuntu 11.10 has just been released. Even if you're not a Linux fan, maybe you're curious what Ubuntu looks and feels like.
Since it comes on a Live CD, it was always easy to download Ubuntu, burn a CD and run it without affecting your system.
But Ubuntu has something even better, a full recreation of the Ubuntu desktop done in HTML5. If you check out Ubuntu's latest online tour, you'll see that it's a fully interactive demo rather than a set of photos or videos.
And by fully interactive we mean that almost all of the functionality has been replicated online. There's a working Dash with search, there's a real clock and calendar, the Firefox browser enables you to actually browse websites.
All of the default apps and their functionality have been replicated. It's really impressive and it’s what Ubuntu needed to convince reluctant newcomers.
