After two months of searching for another distro, I discovered Ubuntu Ultimate Edition one night last week, and I must say that I like it. One of the first things I tried was a plain-vanilla Ubuntu install, and all was well there until I tried to play a couple of radio stations that stream over the Internet, and nothing I did seemed to get either of them to play. I tried Mint for a while, although I had some issues with it, too but lived with it until I found Ubuntu Ultimate.
Functionally, Ubuntu Ultimate is just about darn near perfect. However, there's one thing the creators of the Ultimate Edition did that I wish they woulda left alone, and that's their choice of a default usplash theme at bootup that I do not like at all. I've been looking high and low on here trying to find just the default stock Ubuntu splash theme. You know the one -- it's the one with the Ubuntu logo and name on a black background with the orange bootup progress bar. In Synaptic, I can find ones for Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu, etc. -- but not for Ubuntu itself! How does one correct this?
Thanx in advance,
