Ubuntu Satanic Edition 10.04 (Lucifer’s Legion)
Sound and Multimedia
I had no problem with sound in Ubuntu Satanic Edition. As soon as I started playing the bundled heavy metal music, I knew sound was working perfectly.
YouTube & Flash
I was pleased to note that flash is installed by default. I was able to play the eternally awesome video of “Rainbow in the Dark” by Ronnie James Dio. It looked and sounded great in Firefox. I think that somewhere Ronnie is smiling down on the Ubuntu Satanic Edition developers for bringing a little dark magic to Ubuntu Linux.

Problems & Headaches
How deliciously ironic that a distro branded as horrifically pestiferous actually turned out to be pretty much trouble-free. I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me since it’s based on Ubuntu, but you’d think that some sort of Mephistophelian spirits could have taken control and caused at least a few problems of note. Alas, such things didn’t happen and my experience with Ubuntu Satanic Edition was overwhelmingly positive.
In other words, I just don’t have much to complain about in this section. Darn it.

Next I’ll show you where to get help, and I’ll share my final thoughts.

Well, I guess that I’ll have to be the “Goody Two Shoes” in the bunch. I’ve already tested multiple variations of the Ubuntu 10.04 series. All along during the development, I closely monitored the Kubuntu developments, mainly because I am interested in the track that KDE has been taking, and the test releases of Kubuntu, Mandriva Cooker, and OpenSUSE, track the KDE progress better than most others (unless you want to track them with Arch, Gentoo, or Linux from Scratch).
Though Jim is not a fan of Kubuntu, I find the Kpackagekit and the mostly generic implementation of KDE to be what I want, because I want to be able to evaluate a mostly unaltered implementation and compare it to the customized versions. Kubuntu, during the relatively rocky recent history of the KDE project, has provided a reasonable, usable platform, though it has certainly faithfully shared the KDE 4 defects, and both the good and the bad.
Based on testing, not only Kubuntu, but also Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Peppermint, and Mint, all of which use the Ubuntu repositories, I am confident that this release would have functional similarities to the others. The differences would be more in visual appearance and the choice of tools. Given that I have no particular urge to view or hear anything beyond what I’ve already seen or heard, I will pass on downloading this one. I will say, however, that based on what I’ve already tested, those who may be interested in this will, more than likely, find a very easy to install, reliable to use system.
Of course you’ll write about it in the future as well. You hope it’s controversial.
But, I have to admit it, this satanic crap – and it’s neither a religion nor spirituality, btw – evens out nicely all that mushy Nelson-Mandela crap from the original Ubuntu.
God I hate extremism(s).
And no, of course I won’t download it and try it. Ubuntu Loudmouth Lemming is bad enough. No more Ubuntu!
What is so special about the Satanic Edition that you accord it the status of a separate distro? All it is is Ubuntu with some Goth eye candy. There is NO special Satanic software to distinguish it from the run-of-the-mill Ubuntu. At least the Christian Edition has some Bible related software.
BTW – what’s with the Anti-AdBlock popup at the end of your review???
> God I hate extremism(s).
Hate is an extreme.
Perhaps you meant “God I dislike extremism(s).”
Love and hate are both extremes. In the middle? Apathy.
On-topic though, I find the satanic edition creative and rather tongue-in-cheek. Which is nice. I still just run regular brown/purple Ubuntu myself though.
Cheers.
IMHO, it’s so stupid, as same Linux distribution can be…
If it was really a satanic distribution it would have an EULA copied from Windows.
@ John:
