Ubuntu: Up and Running

What’s New in 10.04

As it grows, the developers of Ubuntu continually need to remove items from the main distribution to enable everything to fit on a single CD, and until the decision is taken to move onto DVD installation media as the default, this will continue to be the case. Unfortunately, this means a few games didn’t make it, with only AisleRiot Solitaire, Gnometris, Mahjongg, Mines, and Sudoku remaining in the Applications → Games menu. But now that you’ve read this chapter you know how easy it is to get all the games you could want, including those that used to be installed by default.

Note

If you upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 from a previous version, your installed games will not be affected. Only new installations of 10.04 have the reduced number of installed games.
