Introduction

Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. As the 12.10 release was our first release, there are still a few minor issues, but we proudly recommend Ubuntu GNOME to anyone interested in using Ubuntu with the best of what GNOME has to offer.

Features of 13.04

• While Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will ship with GNOME 3.6 by default (like 12.10), GNOME 3.8 will be available in the GNOME 3 PPA.

• Mozilla Firefox will be the default Web browser, instead of Web (epiphany-browser).

• LibreOffice will be included as the office suite, replacing AbiWord and Gnumeric.

• Ubuntu Software Center and Ubuntu's Software Updater will be available for use instead of GNOME's software application.
