The introduced Ubuntu Software Center is at present essentially an alternative GUI for Add/Remove Applications but it would in future also replace Synaptic PM and also maybe Update Manager, as can be read in the following: https://launchpad.net/software-center The Ubuntu Software Center is a utility for installing and removing > applications in Ubuntu. > > In version 1, it will build on the basic philosophy of Add/Remove > Applications and make it even easier to use.

I used to find the operation of YAST rather cumbersome because it used to take a lot of time to initialize even if used for some simple changes. It appears there is no such departure planned from Adept in case of KDE / Kubuntu. Ubuntu 9.10 introduces Grub2 as the default bootloader. When guides in Tamil are written for installation Ubuntu 9.10, for the sake of those who would upgrade from previous Ubuntu 9.04 version having older Grub to 9.10 (either to beta or to final when it comes out on Oct29) whatever issues involved due to this change for bootloader need to be studied carefully. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 Reading that page I am not sure whether first the legacy grub in 9.04 be upgraded to grub2 and then distro 9.04 upgraded to 9.10 or vice-versa. ~Sethu
