EDITORIAL inaro 12.11, which is reaching its end of life this month, was the last version of Ubuntu to offer the Unity 2D desktop environ- Lment, which is popular with both beginners and experts be- cause of its friendly icons, unique desktop customization options, and easy-to-use interface. However, its predecessor and close relative, Linaro 12.04, is still alive and well, and comes with Unity 2D. 12.04 is the most recent Long Term Service (LTS) release, and will be supported for 3 more years, until April 2017. If you’re looking for an extremely stable version of Ubuntu, Linaro 12.04 is your best bet. However, the 12.04 version of Ubuntu isn’t available as a pre-built from Hardkernel. Why? Because, as the ODROID box says, you can Do It Your- self! The ODROID family of computers are primarily intended for developers, who love to build everything from scratch for two reasons: 1) they usually get paid by the hour, and 2) they spend days constructing long, intensive build scripts that take hours to finish, so that they can go make sand- wiches and drink coffee while they wait for the build to be done! This month, Mauro shows us how to build a custom Ubuntu image from scratch, so you can amaze your friends at your next party, and show that you are a true Linux hacker, worthy of their adoration and free jelly donuts.
